And it isn’t fooling the voters, who have given both this White House and Congress record-low approval ratings. If politics as presently practiced in Washington continues, we will not have a just and affordable solution to this complex and vexing problem any time soon. I agree. Similar to the debate on funding social security and Medicare. It make you wonder what it will take, all we can do is try to become more involved with our policital leaders. The nation remains sharply devided and I'm hoping with a new administration, whether it is R or D those divisison can be eased and real progress made.
