Quit blaming the Republicans and the Democrats...it's ALL of them. The system has failed and is in need of restoration. It' ain't rocket science or brain surgery folks, it good ole' common sense.
#DefundDC... what's really needed is a great big ole' time out...no program or spending expansion for a minimum of a year. Then roll back the duplicitous and wasteful programs... retire the federal government's regulatory control over everything.
