Does anyone worry we're just flipping back and forth between D and R

There are two issues here.

1/ Neither party wants to address the real and root cause problems, because, the voters don't want them addressed. Debt and overspending is a known problem, but voters have NO appetite for cutting the most expensive benefits (SS, MEDI).

We are experiencing serious cultural rot. Personal responsibility is completely out of style. People want to dump their responsibilities on government and want government to solve their problems. Unfortunately, government is terrible at "enforcing" culture.

2/ Most people have yet to learn we aren't in a right-left battle. We're in a battle of government vs. citizens. Most still believe the government is benevolent and it has pure intentions.

Until people want to tackle their own problems instead of having "someone else" take care of them, and see that government doesn't operate with their personal best interest in mind... it's going to be a flailing course constant flip-flopping.

"Maybe this will work?" will be our future until we have a solid culture again.
