8. The way the prison system is run is only one small part of the problem...
distribution of federal education funds, distribution of property taxes, affirmative action, gun control, bandaid legislation from the local government up to Washington, and the complete lack of willingness to stick with a rehabilition program longer than it takes to win another election are all parts of the greater problem.

The domestic policy is broken on both of the sides of the isle because most voters are one or two issue voters. The society today has a rapidly short attention span and a lack of ability to look at the big picture.

You have to pay for a society that works. Many (50% or so) Americans aren't willing to do that.

good informative well researched post.
