It's one thing to complain and recite things we already know. It's much harder to introduce legislation and create coalitions and alliances to shepherd such broad and important legislation all the way to the President's desk. I think this is where the all or nothing philosophy starts to fall apart. When someone wants "all or nothing" the "all" never wins the day and "nothing" is the result. A more realistic incremental approach makes more sense, especially in today's political climate. Anyone can complain. We need strong leadership to get things done.
