When will Americans be Americans again?

And how? What needs to happen realistically so the country could move on and accomplish really important things that need serious attention.

It seems Americans have forgotten to be calm, collected and practical these days, spending way too much energy on fighting and being distracted.

To me it seems the major points of contention between Dems and Reps are not too complicated. Especially because both are…Ameri “Can Do” cans!

On immigration. A rational compromise on border security and immigration reform solves the problem at least for now.

On abortion. Here I can’t see a compromise. People get too emotional. And religion is involved. Just guessing but to settle this, religious conservatives should just let women “kill their babies” if they want to. In return, anti-abortionists get to initiate government funded programs designed to educate and dissuade women who are thinking of getting an abortion.

On healthcare. Americans should demand that their Representatives and the President debate, develop and deliver a plan that most Americans would and could go for. If they fail, they get fired! On to the next batch.

On taxes, social security, entitlement etc. Complicated yes, but I just couldn’t accept Americans would prefer squabbling for decades instead of utilizing the enormous brain power of citizens who could figure these things out to the point of producing acceptable working policy.

This shouldn’t be hard. Moving the county forward. When will Americans “get down to business?”
