I've said this many times on this forum, we need to get rid of the two party system, I had high hopes when Ross Perot ran for office, that was a big let down

I have stated many times that we have many parties and not just two parties...but we do have two dominate parties and they will remain dominate as long as the voters keep them as the two dominate parties. I have zero confidence that a third party will rise up that will be able to even compete with the two dominate parties...let alone become a dominate party.
It is not the current sitting President or the current sitting Congress that is responsible for the problems of the nation...it it is all of the previous Presidents and Congresses that are responsible for the current state of the nation...specifically since and including the Reagan administration. The policies/laws put into place by each have exponentially compounded the problems that the nation is experiencing today.
To blame any sitting President or Congress for current problems...is simply ignorance. Every President and Congress implements laws that takes years to affect the nation in either a good way or a bad way.
A good example is NAFTA which was signed into law by President Clinton (which if I recall correctly was a Republican proposal). It was stated at the time that NAFTA would be a good thing for the long term well being of the nation. I was not a proponent of NAFTA at the time and I think that the majority would now agree that it has turned out to be very harmful for the nation's well being.
The same will apply to the Health Care Bill...it will be years for the affect to be seen as being a good thing or a bad thing for the well being of the nation.
