So many things that I'd like to say about the deficiencies on both sides, given the times that we are now in. Having the dems prevail in November would be an utter catastrophe for the country, and probably signal to the red states that it is now finally time to break-up. Conversely, that may be what the blue states are planning if the Rs prevail. Neither side has a strong understanding of the world that we truly live in, and neither side is willing to accept defeat. I'm really having a hard time seeing how this all pans out in the absence of a third way to move forward where neither side has complete control, and real standards are put in place to curb spending and reduce regulatory bloat.
The voting members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not have enough time to read, comprehend or debate any of the laws they vote on. They vote 100 times a day, every five minutes, while in session.
Approximate absolute facts:
Every day that the Congress and Legislatures are in session 100 new bills are introduced and distributed.
The representatives are given two weeks to review the bills before they are brought up for The Vote.
Two weeks into the session they begin voting on the Laws that were previously introduced, while newer laws are introduced.
Many of these bills are in excess of two thousand pages.
The arithmetic demonstrates that the elected representative does not have the time to even read the name of the Law much less the content of it.
Since the Representatives cannot evaluate 200 thousand pages of law speak per day, they vote the way their Party advisors tell them to vote.
