Not if they block each other in government to a degree that nothing can be done anymore. Democracy and a working society is all about compromise and the willingness to take a step back from your own convictions.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Money has nothing to do with teaching ability. It may have something to do with getting the teachers to motivate the kids, but that isn't teaching ability. There are dumb teachers and smart teachers. There are dumb teachers that can motivate and smart teachers that can not motivate and the reverse of that. It's about instilling ambition in the kid to want to learn. Once you do that, they will learn because they want to. Frankly, the whole usa public school system needs an overhaul to reflect the changes in technology (i.e., internet and computers). There is no reason much of this couldn't be done from home school. Save a lot of money.
Sure compromise to a point. But not at the expense of your principles. Just because USA isn't doing what you want. It's not doing what I want either, but at least I live here. My vote gets ignored all the time because I live in Kalifornia.
