Monarch

This past election the call from the votes was for congress and the President to co-operate but the call was not heard. First off, at the State of the Union speech Obama offered things like a $3,000 child tax credit and free junior college knowing full well the congress would not approve and he could point out how the Republicans don’t care about poor people. Next the congress approved the Keystone Pipeline knowing that Obama would veto it and they could claim he doesn’t care about jobs. So far it’s the same old blame game and nothing gets done. Next up is tax reform but the experts are saying it is too close to the next presidential election to do that. Since we have major elections every two years it seems it will always be too close. Not doing anything would be OK but government agencies like the EPA are working overtime making up new regulations. While the legislative branch is doing nothing the executive branch is working hard. As I have said before, as long as the two parties are neutralizing one another the president, who every that may be, can act and nothing can stop him. If he does something the congress does not like they can sue him but that goes through the courts and takes years. They can’t cut the funding and that would shut down the government and no one wants to be blamed for that and impeachment is out of the question since it takes 67 votes in the senate. It seems we have an elected monarch.
