The only way to end this shutdown

16. I believe that eventually this will happen if it's needed

One more election cycle will seal the deal.

The blue wave aimed at the Senate will do it.

There will be a holy mess to clean afterwards but it will also be the perfect opportunity to do some real house cleaning of archaic laws, practices and traditions. It will be an opportunity to cut out the dead weight of corruption and make laws to guard our government from future corruption. Loopholes will need to be re-thought and dealt with.

I hate to say this but Presidential powers need to be tightened up. Wars need to again be Congressionally declared, or there needs to be a clear path to Presidential involvement in military action in the world. I get that you can’t declare war on terrorism, thus my comment about a clear path to military action.

We will be able to join the world again, only my hope is that it will be as an equal among nations. Superpowers should be a thing of a failed past history for the world.

Am I overly optimistic? Yeah, but if there’s enough Ocasio-Cortez kind of Congresspeople we can get this done.
