Democracy-Challenge

Shameful Event: Bipartisan Politics

Not an event, but an aspect, out of which many bad events have derived. The U. S. has two primary political parties, the Democratic and the Republican. The current threat of the government itself to “shut down” in Washington D. C. has been caused by the two parties refusing to get along with each other. They cannot stand each other’s political ideas, and refuse to yield one inch of ground either way. As a result, nothing is getting accomplished by the American government.

Not that the bipartisanship should be abolished. There should be two sides to every issue, but there should also be something we like to call “compromise” between them. But the Senate and Congress routinely vote straight down party lines without listening to, or caring about, the other side’s argument on an issue.

The major issue at the time of this list’s composition is budget expenditures, which, if not resolved, will “shut down” the government, yet after the shutdown the Senate, Congress and President’s Cabinet will continue to be paid, but the families of active duty military service personal at home and those deployed overseas will not receive any more paychecks until corrected.

{This is and has been a perfect example of the main cause of problems ( self-centeredness and greed) is
not only in Congress but in the world.}


Republicans tend to believe that too much money is being wasted. Democrats want even more money spent in order to stimulate the economy.

{which is the opposite way to stimulate = the best way is to find only the best (really necessary) items to be spent on in certain limited areas - but not a spend thrift manner! Otherwise it becomes wasted money, because people will always take "free" money!}

The Republicans consider this digging down in order to climb out of a hole, and around and around we go. {Which is a true view of such actions}

It has gotten so bad, that photographs have surfaced, from inside the House and Senate, showing Democrats playing Solitaire, Freecell and Minesweeper on their laptops while Republicans give speeches. The reason?

They angrily refuse to listen and be swayed from their positions. Though there is currently no proof, the Republicans are likely just as guilty of such goofing off.

{There needs to certain government expenses; many are to be conditional but not necessary. This is where the (2) views need to be addressed in separately, in a one on one analysis - not just put into some gross Bill where the unnecessary items are carried along with mandatory items.
When thrown in, this just causes wasted or unnecessary expenditures for the Government (tax payers)}.

This is exactly how and why so many citizens are in debit chasing endless desires in their lives...
{This causes people to not be responsible for their actions) This is where the Congress is!
