The extreme partisanship in Congress diminishes their very ability to legislate.  Good law requires both sides of the aisle to work together, to compromise, and to do so for the good of the nation. The below links cite the Federal Reserve Chairman, the Secretary of Defense, and Standard and Poor's describing how the uncertainty caused by Congressional partisanship is jeopardizing our nation's economy and national security. Also cited is a Pew Research Poll that shows citizens agree that political partisanship is hurting the country.  Here's how:

• Pentagon Chief Says Partisanship Will Undermine Foreign Policy
• S&P's U.S. Downgrade A Warning To End Partisan Business-As-Usual
