One nice fact about George Washington... He hated political parties. He felt that if they emerged here they would destroy the constitutional republic he helped found.

I think the problem is that someone got the bright idea that they could get relected if they just put bandaids on everything and appeared to be helping people instead of actually trying to fix the problem of why so many people needed band-aids in the first place. And now the only way to be elected is if you promise to use bandaids even though they do nothing.
