Root Cause of America’s Legislative Failures

Majority Minority Tradition – An Introduction

When we are attempting to solve a problem or overcome a challenge it is imperative we seek out the root cause.  “This is generally referred to as Root Cause Analysis, finding the real cause of the problem and dealing with it rather than simply continuing to deal with the symptoms.” (Systems Thinking, 2012)  During each election cycle, over the past 100+ years at least, citizens are fed a large number of issues with many personalities explaining how, if elected, they will be the champions of change and the one who will fix issues.  After taking office we are then told by these same agents for change why they are unable to effectively deal with the issues.  During the next election cycle… Continue reading
