I'm far too young, in my estimation, to be this cyncial but I now only believe in following the money. Who is making a fortune off a locked up, constipated legislative branch? Who benefits from governmental stagnancy? I know Wall Street gets excited when they think an administration is toothless.

I'm tired of this —but i am also just tired this morning. Maybe I perk up later. For now, I agree 100% with all you've just written.
