Too Much...Too Little...Pass The Buck...Ideas

I have come to the conclusion that unless things change in congress and we somehow find a government that is able and willing to do their job and compromise, we, the United States of America, stand a very real chance of imploding.  We have grown men/women in congress refusing to do their jobs, yet they aren't being fired.  If anyone of us pulled their stunts, we would be fired faster than we can blink.  What is this country coming to??  What has become of our congress and senate?  What is becoming of this country?? 

(1) A first step, is everyone, and I do mean everyone, needs to stop blaming and start accepting responsibility for their part in everything.
(2) The second step, is we need to do get rid of some of the political parties. We have too many.  Republicans say we need smaller government, yet they have the "tea party".  That's not making things smaller, that's making things larger.  Anytime you add something to something, it grows.  To become smaller, you must subtract or remove something.
(3) The third step, and I particularly like this one.  We could down size and get rid of most of the political parties.  How??  By sending everything out for votes by the American people.  And, as it should be, the majority would win.  Do we want tax breaks for oil companies??  Let us vote on it.  Bet you 99% of the people would say to do away with it.  They would also vote to get rid of the loop holes concerning big business tax breaks.  We could actually fix things considerably quicker by firing the lot of them and just voting on things every 4 years.  That's a novel concept.

Wonder how congress would feel to be out of a job and not be able to find work??  Or to have no medical coverage?  Or to have to pay their own premiums and co-pays out of pocket?  As the old saying goes, "too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the stew".  Well, there are most definitly way------y too many "cooks" in the kitchen.
