Obviously indeed? I do
realise congress must pass spending, but is it not the case that presidents routinely bundle unpopular proposals with spending they know congress will
not vote against?
Dont get me wrong tho, I'm not saying the Dems or Obama are great. All politicians are bought & paid for. What I dont understand is how this mess is
more Obama's fault than anyone else's. Also, the way he gets called a socialist is laughable. US politics doesn't have a left, just some people
that are less right wing than others.
Providing further welfare to an armed populace in a time where the country is on the verge of collapse isn't socialism, its either that or declare
martial law. Even if the USA would accept that without revolt, your military commitments overseas mean you dont have the manpower, without a draft.
Could the USA afford so many extra troops? This is why I asked what you would have Obama do?
