But we are talking about government working towards the common welfare of all. When both political parties worked together on major issues.

Anyone growing up post Regan really might not remember the optimistic outlook of the Eisenhower and Kennedy era's.

Crime was much more violent than today. Passions much more inflamed on both sides. But laws and progress was made because both political parties weren't a collective of clowns.
