Aeyra 260 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 Politics: One party is elected. That part screws up. The other party is elected. That one screws up too. So back to the first one. Then to the second. And so on, so forth. Honestly, as long as I'm not stripped of my money and rights, I don't care who gets elected. They all promise good things, but they never seem to happen, do they?

dw5chaosfan 8 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 They can be, but the thing is the country is going on a huge spending and tax raising tantrum. THe democrats are responsible, so I think Obama will not be our president in 2013. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anti-APTX4869 181 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 The thing about politics: They(congress/ government/ state/ what-ever-you-want-to-call-it) mess it up, they blame on president, we start to think it's the president's fault, new president elected, the blames passes down generations to generations. Ever wonder why we have so much debt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tengaku squared 291 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Everything blames it on the president. Guys, the president really has no say in anything relating to laws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ M. 204 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 ^ ^ This shows that the President isn't responsible or at power for everything U.S.A. Just because he is "Commander in Chief" doesn't mean that Americans should put all of the blame on the president for every problem we are encountering (even if he is responsible for some political or economic issues).

tengaku squared 291 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Honestly, that representation, IMO, is pretty useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ M. 204 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Honestly, that representation, IMO, is pretty useless. Well whatever your opinion is, it shows the limits of powers between the Congress, Supreme Court, and the president and how they can "check" one another. I'm just saying how the president isn't responsible for laws that people are against (Legislative branch is responsible for making them, judicial branch is responsible for interpreting them). So I don't really care if you see it as useless, I'm trying to make a point (whether you believe the representation strengthens or weakens it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The idea of checks and balances is a good idea in theory, but eventually that will fail. And there are a LOT of checks and balances between the three branches. Also, "check"... BTW, is the news about the economy overrated? I keep waiting for the end or something like that, but nothing seems to be happening around me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lia. 45 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 WikiLeaks had something about the government's POV on education. They (this government) says that it is better if the citizens of their country don't go to college/university because there are 'many other jobs' (eg. Waiter, Janitor, Bus Driver, etc.) that don't need a college degree to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
