Great Depression Coming Soon to a Neighborhood Near You?

It seems like the only way we can get our congress to actually be productive we either have to be heading for an iceberg (this week: Great Depression: Part Deux) or its election season. The best part is they do one thing that is successful and then pat themselves on the back but seem to overlook the fact that their quarreling and inability to work together for years has led to our currents chaos. If they're not patting each other's back they're pointing fingers and attempting to divide the nation to make us forget that they're responsible as a whole. It all makes sense though at then of it you just have to follow the money trail. It doesn't really seem like we have two parties, rather, what we have is two teams that once elected gains the endorsement of all the major corporations. That endorsement corrupts and slows down the legislative process especially if that legistion happens to favor the voters' interest over that of big business.

We can;t completely blame the money, its the combination fo its presence along witht he culture of polarizing that has developed within Washington in the last eight years. What we need this presidential election is a leader willing to fight this corruption but at the same time one that pushes for a new culture of collaboration in washington. It seems that obth candidates are offering this, hopefully, they're not just saying what we want to hear.
