I almost find it frustrating seeing people continue to push the same tired old aguments, blame it on the Demos / Reps.
Its like watching a cat chase its own tail.
What happens when we have situations that don't fit inside this redundant partisan mindset?

Private funding for political parties doesnt work, lobbyiest can virtually buy the policies they want.

I agree, it is the same old arguments. Same old good old boy network. I don't think it will change any time soon though.

A little anecdote from my business: It's well known that if you want to make partner at Goldman Sachs, you have to leave to work for the government for a couple of years, and then come back to GS.

That's why we say "Goldman Sachs has more stops in D.C. than the Metro."
