09 Nov 07 CNN “Our Government is Broken” Why I think it’s Great!

I’m listening to a debate on CNN regarding the low poll numbers of congress.  They are now discussing the “Tragedy” of our broken government.  It seems like when our government is running efficiently we end up with more government programs, more spending, and less opposition to the expanding government.  I for one am grateful that our government is not working efficiently.  It simply is putting the brakes on reckless government spending and expansion.  I admit I would like the government work together on a few key issues.  I would love to see taxes cut in half or even eliminated, I would like to see all federal funding for arts, education, and social programs cut.  But these things are highly unlikely.  Based on the things our congress and president want to do and are pushing, I relieved to know little is getting accomplished.
