This is, for the most part, my own political belief, although I would invert the opening statement to a degree. Our policies have failed because of our collective obsession with ideology. Just look at political discussion on SubSim as an example in microcosm. Too many feel that their ideology must be taken pure as a solution to all, and that those who do not adhere to this dogma are somehow cancerous. We no longer compromise. We no longer do that which we have, historically, done best. And so each party's 'turn' in office ends in the same result--failure.
