Video: A Great Divide or An Awakening?

At 1:18 it is remarked how Americans disapprove of both political parties. Other polling shows that a majority of Americans think the government is too big and intrusive.

There are ideological divides in the country, as there are in societies free enough to allow divergent public discourse on what is good and just.  The divide that is widening in America is between Americans outside the Beltway grounded in the reality of unsustainable debt, and politicians inside the Beltway who create for themselves their own universe of make-believe economics and math.

Madison famously quipped that "If men were angels, no government would be necessary..." (Federalist 51).  If politicians exercised common sense, no Tea Party would be necessary.
