And it is just getting started. Part of the problem is we are still over 6 months away from the real campaign, but pollsters are busy asking preferences, grandstanding to raise funding is on-going, emails begging for contributions are arriving and we face the future with two realities staring us in the face.
1. Clinton vs Bush is absolutely depressing. I would rather neither was running.
2. The chances of Congress doing anything productive in the next 18 months are nil. And we have problems that need addressing like a bankrupt Highway Trust Fund and decrepit bridges/sewers/water treatment plants. And a GOP that thinks a clean environment is something the capitalist system can protect when it was capitalism that created a dirty environment because keeping a clean environment costs money.
And I don't understand this fascination with killing the Ex-Im Bank. Who cares if they help Boeing & General Electric compete with foreign firms that are supported by their Ex-Im bank? Our Ex-Im bank supports U.S. manufacturing jobs which are in short supply.
