Why should party alignment be to blame? Both have good and bad. What is needed is for the people in general to stand up and say "That's it.No more." I don't care who is office because the system is broken. It's like putting duct tape over a crack in your windshield. Sooner or later you can't see the road and the windshield has got to go. Our Founding Fathers saw this in the 1700s. We need to wake up and see it now.
