The American Form of Government

-
I'm going to say something really shocking.
-
If you look at the very large amount of money that is being spent on pork barrel projects you see that it is growing exponentially. This fiscal irresponsibility is going to come home to roost. The country and many voters have been spending more that their income for some time now.
-
Al Gore won the election, not the Bush dynasty.
-
Many other countries spend a far smaller amount per capita on health care and yet have effective universal health care. In America we waste vastly more money doing it all in the private sector, and yet a significant percentage of the people do not have health insurance.
-
The Congress in Washington, D.C. is in perpetual gridlock.
-
Does it begin to be clear the picture I am painting? Maybe, just maybe, we no longer have the best and most effective form of government in the world.
-
This is a pretty shocking thing to say, but I am beginning to think it may be true.
