America's two major political parties have arrived at a point where they hold vastly different views on levels of public spending, the entitlement state and the purpose and structure of the country's tax system. This is not some routine spat over a few line items in the budget. It is an historic disagreement over the role of government.
I would add that there is also an historic disagreement among us over the social issues, over the meaning and purpose of marriage and family, and over which level of government should decide these foundational issues.
It is a privilege to live in interesting times!
