Politically Ununited

In Michael Gerson’s "Too Small for a Big Crisis", he is arguing that the House of Representatives isn't united on issues that need to be addressed and fixed, such as Americas failing economy. Gerson lays the blame on Nancy Pelosi, whom he claims is unsuccessful. He believes that Pelosi "attacked" economic conservatives saying that it is a "right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation", because she said this Pelosi’s close associates decided against the bill, when originally everyone was for the bill, even the presidential candidates. Since it's so close to election month and the majority of the public didn't like the bill, the republicans and most democrats voted against the bill because they don't want to chance their re-elections. This is true of the House of Representatives, Republicans and Democrats need to focus, unite, and collaborate to fix the economic problem we are faced with, ridiculous politics should stay out of it. Sometimes it's better to go against what the public thinks it wants and go with what needs to be done to fix the problem. When the House decides to get it together and actually start working on problems instead of "high school drama", the country would be in much better shape.
