I’ve been doing it for years. This was my point. “We” get the government we elect. However sophomoric that may sound, it seems to hold true.

Wow. Vote 3rd party. Never heard that before. Thanks for totally blowing my mind with awe and wonder.

Funny thing is, we — you, me and everyone else — elected the “political class”. It didn’t just fall right out of the sky. Seems we do have a voice, but just tend to speak poorly with it.

The US infrastructure (roads, bridges, electricity grid, etc) has something like a 2 trillion dollar gap just to bring it up to modern standards. We could employ millions of people tomorrow if the government just decided that this was a good and necessary thing to do. Instead we’re talking about bringing down the deficit. * sigh *
