3441 - Jonathan Rauch about politics


Did you see the PBS News Hour yesterday? It had a very good segment with author Jonathan Rauch about the way politics have changed in the last 40 to 50 years and why it's hard for Congress to get anything done.

Go to the 34:30 mark to start watching.  Well, PBS finally posted the video of just the segment I was looking for. And no it's not about Trump. His picture is there only because of the way the clip was cut out of the show.

I read Mr Rauch's article in the Atlantic Monthly. He's a very persuasive analyst and commentator.

How in the wide world do we get this mess corrected? I can't imagine the thought of compromise. We live near the LBJ ranch and the tour there is very informative on the idea of compromise/ politics.

Since when did compromise become a dirty word?

Oh this won't get better until I'm dead I fear.
