Sadly, in human affairs it is sometimes necessary for a crisis to reach an acute, mortal stage before effective action is taken.

Steve is mistakenly thinking that those in charge are mostly typical Americans who will do the right thing in the end. Sadly, this is not the case. What is happening now is exactly what they want to happen. They are devious. Lest you doubt this, take a look at who Obama chose as his Chief of Staff - one of the most childish, partisan hacks in D.C. This is going to get uglier.
