I see this as a wonderful thing, spendaholics notwithstanding.
The last time we came close to fiscal sanity was with a strong R House and Senate and a D Pres. Not that things were perfect...far from it...but far better than today.
The staggered bicameral nature of Congress coupled with the division of power (czars and executive orders notwithstanding) is in there by design. If the far left is Stalin and the far right is Hitler (as we're falsely told by the NEA indoctrinated history revisionists) maybe its the best thing that we don't compromise towards either one and gridlock is the best of the 3 likely outsomes, as flawed as it itself may be.
