Some in this forum seem to actually believe that it is the opposition, most often the Democratic Party in here, that is dividing the country. And while they themselves preach hate for the others, they never seem to be able to grasp the idea that it is themselves who are the dividers. The same is true for the two party system.

The enlightenment I have had is this: The real dispute between the Red Team and the Blue Team is whose friends get the money. The rest is mere window dressing which neither side is serious about. They merely throw it up there in order to dupe more people into voting for their faction, so that their friends can get more of the money. Neither side has any interest in reducing government at all, they only have an interest in getting their "friends" (i.e. people who give politicians money in order to get politicians to give them your money) a bigger share of an expanding pie.

In this case, when the "Farm Bill" was a combination of welfare for the poor (food stamps) and welfare for corporations (farm subsidies) both sides were getting something. But now that America's credit card is about to be maxed out, the various parasites on the productive working people of our nation have to fight harder over the scraps of our wealth which are left. So the Republicans separated the Food Stamp welfare from the Farm Subsidy welfare. The Democrats were all about cutting the Farm Subsidy (the Republican's friends) in order for there to be more money for the Food Stamp program (the Democrat's friends). The Republicans are all about the opposite. Neither of them have any interest whatsoever in cutting government overall. Handing out your money to their friends and supporters is where their interests lie.

Here in Arkansas, the reverse happened. Republicans took over the state legislature for the first time in over a hundred years running on a platform of opposing the implementation of Obamacare- which was correctly seen as an expansion of welfare primarily to the Democrat's supporters. Once the Republican state legislators got in there, Democrat Gov. Mike Beebe proposed to cut some private interests which favored Republicans in on the loot. With some help via bribery of legislators to change their vote, a majority of Republicans tossed their campaign promises into the nearest trash bin and signed onto Obamacare under the so-called "Private Option."

No expansion of government is too big if both side's friends can participate.
That is the lesson here. It also explains the trillion dollar bailouts of the biggest banks. The big banks are "friends" of both red and blue. Most voters red or blue opposed the measure, but they happened anyway and are still ongoing under QE to Infinity which is of course still underway. One of the measures, QE II, almost all went to foreign banks. That is how unrepresented the American people are in this two-party hoax.
