I used to agree with that, historically. That's the way we, as a country, seem to vote, too.

But now, when one party has stated their only goal is to ensure this President is not re-elected, and that is how they have indeed acted, I don't think it applies any longer.

when you look at the stuff i posted above on spending, it seems to work best with no one party in complete control.
