The general problem exists because the Federal government has become a money trough for many industries, and not the regulator and free market facilitator it should be. \n\nThis is true because politicians serve those that serve them. In other words, global corporations and their industry organizations donate (bribe) the two political parties with direct contributions and huge donations to PACs.

Right now the trend is worsening, so there seems to be little hope. \n\nThe glimmer of hope is the majority of people's general discontent. The rise of extremist politicians is one of many things that demonstrates this discontent. The problem is how this discontent is fractured and unorganized. An example of that are the voters voting for Trump and others for Bernie Sanders. Both voters have common discontent, but think different solutions are the answer.
