Since the beginning, our country has grown larger and better until it reached it’s apex  in the last century. It doesn’t matter exactly when it happened, or whom is to blame, but the current government is obviously out of control. With the democrats in charge of the presidency and both houses the current trend is hurting us all, and the future is bleak for our children and their children. Now I’d like to toss an idea out there (which of course will never come to fruition).

Without fixing blame on a particular party, I think we need a system where it’s difficult for one party to take control and run the country into the ground in a short period of time. In today’s climate, a few years can, and as we are witnessing, will, wreck havoc on us.

We should admit that we basically have two major parties, and it might not be a bad idea to limit the government to those two parties and have each party represented equally — half the senators from one party, half from the other; half the representatives from one, half from the other party; instead of one president, co-presidents — one from each party. And the Supreme Court… four or five from each party.

A likely problem with this system is that over time, the two parties will have few differences, and the system will deteriorate into one large, unchanging entity. But is that a bad thing? Maybe yes, maybe no, but until that happens, there will be checks and balances built in at each level of government.  The way things are now, I’m afraid of where we are headed.
