I agree. However, let's not forget that the bulk of the blame falls on the people who, these days, can't be bothered to think over the issues and pick the ones that are actually relevant to getting America to move forward. As an economy, we're stalling if not going backwards, because we no longer design the best cars in the global market. What we produce, and the services we provide are of similar quality yet more expensive than the same coming from China. Our best hope is to innovate that which is at the horizon, and for that our emphasis needs to be in education, and in job training. Instead, people are having us believe the problem is the illegal immigrant, whether gays should be able to say "I Do", and the 2nd amendment.

I can't tell if its the system that's failing, or the people who were supposed to use it.
