Better Late than Never..?
I agree that what we see playing out in the US federal government is part of a long evolution characterized by fairly positive to neutral performance. The longer-term trend is one worth knowing. If for no other reason than curiosity, though, have the US branches of government collectively muddled through based upon enjoying at least comparatively more time to proceed? I ask this since the accelerating news cycle and a perceived waning of responsible reading on the part of citizens mix as trends. The impact is tough to discern with clarity, but I think we can agree that it makes it harder for the US government to assess situations, conceive of a better reality, and act to that end. If the availability of time to accomplish these activities in the public forum was a factor in the fair track record, what does it look like now?
