Why do democrats not work with republicans to unite and overcome our current economic situation?

Why don't democrats and republicans create bipartisan bills that appeal to each side of politics?
Metal Mike: Are you nuts? failed republican policies? NAFTA (signed by Clinton) got us into this in the first place.

Because non of them really care.

When they 1st get into yeah sure they want to change the world…

but by the time they reach the top (where those changes can be made) they just want the money and the power.

No1 wants to be 'joint' leader of the world

    You have it backwards, failed Republican policies are what got us into this mess to begin with. Republicans need to just shut up and listen to the grown ups for a few years.

    They did. But when 3 Republicans tried to make it work, the GOP abandoned them. At this point, I doubt that any Republican politicians would try to work with the Democrats. They're too afraid that their own party would turn against them.

    it's all politics
    democrats are hesitant to work with republicans. and when they actually try, republicans immediately want to shoot the plans down

    The extreme left and extreme right both enjoy the fight. They operate with similar goals: control the people and create more tax paying consumer voters.

    You mean the ones who bragged how open President Obama was to them in January. And got their tax cuts in the stimulus policy. Where only 3 republicans voted for it?

    They are too tied up and vested into the status quo. The idea of tightening their belts and getting their hands dirty is an alien concept.

    They talk about change and how they want to improve things but every action they take is just to maintain their elitist world views.

    When they do work together, the average American generally winds up getting screwed over.

    It's much better when they fight and bicker, rendering the government for all intents and purposes impotent, and allowing Americans to solve their own problems.

    Let's be clear here, neither party is looking out for you. The only party who's base is increasing is the Independent Party.

    The Repubs cannot sign onto the Demoncrats spend-your-way-outta-debt mentality.

    Look at the few Countries to have tried it in the past, mostly african nations who later realized outrageous inflation and a basic collapse within. Then again our POTUS is 1/2 african. Not trying to be racial, just pointing to the truth.

    The Democrats are not concerned with the economy right now, they are using it to get the polices they want first, I told my wife when they passed the big stimulus after Obama took control, watch they will keep this up until they get all the things they want, then they will come crying we need to pass a REAL stimulus package now, everything they have done up until now has been strictly political and had absolutely nothing to do with the economy as you may have noticed , it is still going down hill to 9.4% unemployment and will reach 10 to 12% by the end of the year, if not higher*************
