The problem as I see it is, conservatives would like lower taxes, but maintain or increase military spending. Liberals would like to maintain or increase spending for social programs.

No one really seems to care about the national debt, so we keep on borrowing more and more money to pay for tax cuts and government programs.

Like scientists in the departments where science is involved, and doctors in the health department, it seems almost logical. And term limits would be awesome as they could not worry about having to be reelected, so they could actually do what their constituency wants and not what the dollars paid want.

Meanwhile, progressives want higher taxes on the rich, just like they were in the 50s and 60s, and higher taxes on corporations, just like they were in the 50s and 60s, and REDUCE the tax rate on the lower/middle/working classes.
