You described the problem in a nutshell. For some reason, a huge portion of our population seems to think that no matter who gets elected, the U.S. will just go on as before with only a few minor changes of course. I can’t tell you how many people have told me, “I’m just not interested in politics,” but I can tell you that every last one of them is lamenting their situation today, from loss of job to inability to sell their homes for the prices they paid for them. I like to remind them: their state is the RESULT of not only politics, but of too many people not being “interested” in politics.
What a government will do while the people are otherwise occupied has filled history books and libraries, with Hitler and Pol Pot being only among the more recent cases—but not at all isolated.

Next time ask them if “Dancing with the Stars” will cure their notice of default?
By the way, good post.
