Both parties get drunk from power when they can control everything. Both spend crazy when they get the chance to put their priorities into effect. Compromise is the way it should be and following real rules that cannot be undone. Lyndon Johnson raided Social Security to create the Great Society and that's another Government failure. And now look at Europe's Social System that the Dems want to model...another failure coming soon. People want more than the Government can supply without destroying middle class completely.
