The country is in the state it is in because for eight years it refused to do its job under Obama. It allowed Obama to rule by fiat. Congress has become a laughing stock, gutless wonder too concerned with feathering their own nest while foresaking the the nation and its people.
Congress at one time did what they were elected to do for the American people as a whole regardless of party affiliation.
Now they do what is best for them to stay in power and do nothing for the American people that elected them.
As long as the money to finance the political campaigns comes from outside their districts and states the members of Congress will not serve those they claim to represent.
OUTSTANDING article, Jacquerie. BUMP!
“So naturally powerful was the 18th century legislative, the Framers spread it across two institutions with the members of each derived from different sources.”
“that in forming a constitution for such a country, great care should be taken to limit and definite its powers, adjust its parts, and guard against an abuse of authority. How far attention has been paid to these objects, shall be the subject of future enquiry. When a building is to be erected which is intended to stand for ages, the foundation should be firmly laid. The constitution proposed to your acceptance, is designed not for yourselves alone, but for generations yet unborn.”
