Open Thread: 'Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?'

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Will Washington's failures lead to a second American Revolution?

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution - and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another. People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?" Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency. Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There's no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do.
