re: #35 Mike Lamb

From the article:

“As The Wall Street Journal’s Gerald Seib recently pointed out, ‘A look back shows that eras of evenly divided power — Congress fully controlled by one party, the presidency by the other — have turned out to be among the most productive” because both sides temper their policies.”

They have bought into the fallacy that the last 20 years have been an anomaly, when it’s 1940s-1980 that was the unique period. Given the opportunity, the parties will go at each other.
