This is a trick question, right? After reading the title I was surprised to see a list of political parties. The correct answer of course is the Federal Reserve, Banks and Corporations.

  You forgot the military-industrial complex, the media, and the non-partisan judicial branch.

Hmmm… and when did things start to go downhill fast? 2007 ish?

  You mean 1937 ish? It’s been going downhill for a while now. Some people want to blame one political party or another. They are caught up in the “who” or ‘what party” I vote for will really make a difference. Really, except for a few key social issues like abortion or gay marriage the Dem/Rep are not that dissimilar when it comes to economic issues.

    You think the US has been going downhill since 1937? Amazing. In what way?

    In retrospect, valley person may very well have difficulty in seeing anything beyond his knows. Indeed, so appearing a little light in his loafers, perhaps.

Are not the voters who are in control?
Not parties.
