We're voting people in charge, democrats and republicans, that have proven time and time again they're uncapable of fixing anything. Now there's a distrust, and rightly so, of any government spending to try and "fix" any issue. And that distrust blocks both good and bad spending and will lead to more problems.

We need to fix the government and quit blaming the libtards or the trumpers for the broken system.
