It’s not what you think.
I’m referring to political parties.
Democrat. Republican.
It makes no difference.
Both political parties produce leaders who do their best to muck things up--both foreign and domestic.
Question: How many wars have the US been involved in that were the result of US adventurism?
Answer: most of them.
We just can’t keep our noses out of other peoples’ business.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Spanish American War, etc.
What is it about "defense" that our leaders fail to understand?
In the history of this country, how many times have we been attacked?
9/11 and Pearl Harbor.
That’s it.
Yet time after time we spend our blood and treasure fighting in wars where those who we are fighting can’t attack us even if they wanted to.
Dumb; and, a steaming pile of…
Domestically, government consistently screws things up.
Health care. Immigration. Consumer protection. Gun control. War on drugs/crime. ...
You name it.
In order to solve a problem, you need to look to the source.
The source of many of our problems in the US (besides greed, a.k.a. business-gone-wild, and public apathy) is government mucking around where government shouldn’t be mucking around.
Where do government leaders come from?
From our two party system.
Therein lies the problem.
