the country is facing terrible problems, but whats the solution?

our country is in the worst state its been in since my lifetime...  and to be honest with you, i think the problems and issues are so big the easiest solution the politicians have come up with is to just blame each other.  its much easier to point fingers and blame others than to take a stand and fix the problem(s)  there is so much bickering and mudslinging and incivility amongst politicians right now, i think they are doing it purposely because they dont know what else to do.  taking a stand is hard, someone has to give in to that first step and that generally means you have to give up something, sacrifice something for compromise.  the politicians aren't willing to do that.  it may be pride, it may hit them in the pocket, i am not sure what it is, i just know that the people who currently hold office have to be right and stand their ground while the rest of us are slipping over the edge.  this should be a learning lesson for all of us...  once you start a lie you have to keep spinning it and bringing other people into it and the web gets so twisted, the only way out is to cut all the ties.  could you imagine what would happen if one of these career politicians actually came clean with all that has been done?  it would bring down not just the administration but the dominoe effect would be overwhelming.  fun to watch admittedly, but it would wreak havoc down to the smallest town; nobody in politics would go unaffected by this.  those of us not in politics would never trust anaother politician again, everything would have to be restructured.  i say 'bring it'
