We need to reform our political parties. Why does Congress get nothing done? Why are there so many stalls and lags in the political and law processes? Because we have bickering and nit-picking between our two dominant political parties. This is creating an epidemic of low political interest and even lower voter turnout. When poltical headlines are filled with the long drawn out fights back and forth between these two political parties is so disconcerting to me, a member of the electorate, that I can't distinguish the party's platform from what they are saying about the other party's "ignorance."

The party probems are definatly a problem. No government can work fast enough or efficiently enough with all of this side stuff going on. I can't so far think of a fair solution.
National Health care. We have the money for it, or had, or would have if we didn't spend 19 trillion on the War effort, and proabably will have again when the economy smooths out. The problem is that our government isn't built to have such a system and it would take massive amounts of work, but as long as we're creating a new one, why npot put in a clause for health care. Given, it is collapsing in england, but that is because England is loosing money, it doesn't have many resources, and their coasting right now on past succeses, it's starting to show. As long as were not at war, we can definantly afford the system.

I agree. Universal Healthcare would be a definite help in the social problems this country is having. While were talking about Healthcare, Malpractice, at least in Pennsylvania has really become a problem. The premiums for Malpractice insurance keep rising because the number of malpractice cases won in favor of the plaintiff has sky-rocketed and because the payouts involved in those cases are just absurd. Let's put that on the list as well. Maybe making a cap on payouts....
