If this is what bi-partisanship is all about – bitter partisanship coming at us in stereo from loudspeakers on both the right and the left sides of our national living room – then I say enough is enough.
The last two years have been exceedingly difficult for most Americans and most Mainers. Many of us are without work. Many of us can’t afford to pay our debts, heat our homes, or pay for healthcare.The Congress can’t seem to find the only handle that matters on the healthcare front , the one thing that most needs to be fixed — the fact that the current system is perfectly geared only to force consumer costs higher. Meanwhile, here in Maine the legislature is struggling to figure out where to find enough money to pave our roads — but without any evident leadership from the Governor.
These aren’t partisan issues. These are issues about making America work right again. We need some non-partisanship for a change.
