After the failure of Congress to pass the payroll tax extension, I read several articles written about the current gridlock in Washington. I also took the time to read several of the comments written by readers about the articles.
I was struck by the hatred that was expressed in the comments. In my opinion, we are a seriously divided Nation, the most divided I have seen in my lifetime. Democrats hate Republicans and vice versa. How did this happen? We have serious problems facing our Nation and we cannot create a national consensus on anything.
Can our political leaders ever work together? Or, are they so wedded to their ideology that compromise is impossible?
