They call it Dysfunctional, the Government that is. News agencies around the country are poking fun in disdain about congress's inability to pass a bill between the two houses, especially one the president is willing to himself pass into law.
Additionally, a great many people around the nation, citizens, equally disappointed in congress to come to agreement on what exact extra bargaining chips are acceptable in coming to terms with raising the Debt ceiling.
The majority of the blame is seemingly pointed toward the Republicans, who cumulatively are standing stern, and not budging on the issue of raising taxes to assist long term debt reduction. Considering the President is the single most listened to voice of Government, his words, pointing a finger at the Republican party, are the shifting bias in opinions at large.
But really, the impasse in bill making is EXACTLY what our for fathers wanted and designed into our system of Government! There IS NO FAULT !!!
Think about it, the House of Representative's holds elections every two years. This keeps the body of individuals freshly updated and in-sync with the times. The Senate on the other hand, only changes one third of it's body every two years, both changing with the times but also retaining part of it's opinion with it's non exchanging members, at least for another two or four years beyond that first change.
What was the point in designing a Government with such an odd rate of exchange of Government elected officials? I mean, why not just change out everybody every two or four years?
The answer is simple. The founding fathers wanted to both prolong existing rule, but also to allow change, and in designing the system they did, allowed for both. The system actually CREATES disagreement and impasse by its very nature, at least for the immediate term. If the people of the nation see something wrong with Government, something Terribly wrong, something like President Obama's Fourteen TRILLION Dollar Debt, they can vote in the mid-term election to Purposely Create an Impasse, to put a stop to whatever madness is at hand. And This is EXACTLY what happened.
The People have spoken. The majority of people demand an immediate stop to spending. They voted in a Majority of Republicans into the House of Representatives last November. Now, that body, that mass of representation is having it's way to Voice the opinion and Choice of the Majority of the people. And further, the Tea Party, a group by it's very nature represents Limited Government and Limited Taxes, was a Majority of the Majority vote. The People have pretty much spelled it out for President Obama and his Democrat cronies, No More Spending and No More Taxes!
I ask you this Mr. President, (and you the reader of course), if the majority of people of this nation presently favor No New Taxes and Immediate and Long Term Deficit Cutting, WHO IS REALLY CREATING THE IMPASSE ??? Why YOU OF COURSE Mr. PRESIDENT! You and your not so convincing argument that Congress must come to a bi-partisan agreement, IS the cause of the impasse. If you you would simply see that the people have spoken, and then actually side with the people that have spoken, YOU would be saying to your Democratic party, "Let's pass this Cut Cap and Balance bill proposed by the Republicans.
But you won't. You are not siding with the majority of voters in this nation by doing what you're doing. I hate to see what the voters do to you in the next Presidential election for not siding with them now!
In conclusion; Kudos to the Founding Fathers of this great nation for devising such a brilliant system of checks and balances, which Purposely creates Impasse, and in so doing, puts a stop to Government absurdity.
Oh Founding Fathers; your system is working perfectly as we have a dysfunctional disabled Government once again!
God Bless America
