Re: When economic policy, military policy, human welfare policy or any other policy is damn near perfect, "bipartisanship" is the logical result, is it not?

Perhaps another useful term would be nonpartisanship? :)

OTOH, what I'm reminded of is "the shriveling of government" as envisioned by Marx and Engels as opposed to the sort of malevolent shriveling of social services with a dramatic increase in militarism as envisioned by the likes of George Bush and Grover Norquist.

To my way of thinking "bipartisanship" is somewhat dysfunctional in the U.S. system. As many have observed, what we truly have in the U.S. is a one party system, i.e the Corporate Party. Within which the Democrats are the Right Wing and the Republicans are the Ultra-Right Wing.
