The government has been at a stalemate in terms of efficiency of passing legislature since a few years ago. Obamacare (the "Affordable Care Act") was passed which was a big step, regardless of how you feel about it, and it's a result of the clear conflict and refusal of the separate political parties to NOT ONLY COOPERATE, BUT TO EVEN TOLERATE each other, let alone SYNERGIZING that none of them are going to get off their butts and work out anything. The government shutdown is a great (or should I say a terribad) example of this... the government needs to accomplish SOMETHING.
