Our enemies foreign and domestic would love to see the USA added to this list. Our constitutional structure is sound thanks to the founding fathers but the combination of the Administrative State
( Regulatory/Depp State) and the continuing fatuous, vile and groundless accusations being perpetrated by those with only self interest could turn the tide

Personal Best Regards:

THIS is what we need to concentrate on.....this group of congressman, Problem Solvers Caucus, wants to solve problems and drop the labels.

I wish them Gods speed and best of luck.

The point is not the specific issue, but that some folks can come together for the country, stop labeling and move forward together rather caring about party or ideology first, instead of USA.

"Lawmakers pledge bipartisan support for pairing tax reform, infrastructure spending"

A group of roughly 40 House Democrats and Republicans pledged support on Tuesday for bipartisan tax reform efforts that would be combined with infrastructure investments.

Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Tom Reed (R-N.Y.), the co-chairmen of the Problem Solvers Caucus, said that tying infrastructure funding to tax reform would help draw bipartisan support.

“We believe smart, targeted infrastructure investment tied to a tax reform package could garner significant bipartisan support,” they said in a joint statement. “This would be a win for the American people by delivering a lower competitive tax rate regime producing growth, while at the same time fixing our crumbling infrastructure without burdening future generations.”
