I hate to be so pessimistic but Boehner is the disease.
We no longer have a representative Republic.
The people are the bacterial organism which must be eliminated. See PP
The solutions to our worst problems are simple.
Solutions are not what “they” have in mind.
We also no longer have a two party political system. We have one Socialist Party. We have two wings of that Socialists Party. The Democrat Wing and the Republican Wing. In 2012 the Democrat Wing completed and perfected their election corruption/ stealing process. They will put the lessons the learned in 2012 in 2016.
