The Price of "Winning"

We often see headlines of “Republicans winning debate over…” or “Democrats winning the fight for…” How about we do away with this partisan poison and focus on the issues of importance.  If public service wasn’t a game of winning and losing, rather abiding by the rules granted to do the public good, maybe we would see the American government change for the better.

Here’s an idea, what if we selected an issue, cataloged what each side wanted, then figured out – within the limits  of governing based on the Constitution – what the government could do to  alleviate the issue with the focus on the nation in the place of scoring political points for their party.

“Winning” a political battle has a price, and that price is paid by the American taxpayers.
