The partisanship you describe is indeed a problem in the US at the moment. Another problem is the fear and greed sentiment so prevalent these days. Yeah, you'll see short term spurts of charity such as with Haiti but when it comes to long term financial "sacrifice", "no-way, no-how" is the attitude. Personally, I'd be willing to see my personal income reduced by say 20% if it could help assure an overall, long term wellness of the nation thru a comprehensive, nationalized health care program, universal low cost post secondary education and so on. When I mention this to my friends, they think I'm nuts.
Overall, I believe the inability of the US to plan for the long term in vital areas such as health care and a sustainable economy will be its undoing.
