The two sides can't agree on how to fix social security.

That's because one side wants to fix it, the other side
wants to get rid of it (after looting it, of course).


... The two sides are
diametrically opposed w/r/t amnesty for illegals (of course Bush is behaving
like a Democrat on this issue).

Not really. His agenda is based on maximizing profit for his
contributors, ie drive down the cost of labor as far as
possible.



And why do you think gridlock is automatically a bad thing? Do we need
another 300 laws and spending programs each session of Congress?

I think we should consider a 2nd Congress, a parallel one,
with the responsiblity to repeal all the dated or
impractical legislation of the regular Congress.



.... Do we need
to amend those laws and rules that have functioned adequately for the past
200 years. The old saying, "idle minds are the Devil's workshop," applies
to Congress in spades.


Lobbying is a HUGE part of the problem. Nobody ever goes in
front of Congress to ask them to spend less money on a given
item or program.
