The Nation's Pulse
Moderation
Most Americans would settle for middle solutions to our nation's problems -- so why do these problems not lend themselves to such?
(Page 2 of 2)
From one end of the spectrum to the other, these ideas would be condemned as "extreme" by their political opponents.
That's just health care. Consider Social Security, illegal immigration, terrorism, and the income tax system. Propose any solution -- any real problem-solver -- and the opposition will cry "foul" and condemn the proposal as extreme.
What does this conundrum mean? Unfortunately, the American people are a whole lot smarter and more committed to real political virtue than our representatives are.
