Congress in the crossfire
Question: How does the US Congress, as it exists in its current structure, support or limit authentic representation?
Honestly...... Congress is a mess. I'm just waiting for them to break out in democrats vs republicans wresseling match to determine the vote on a bill. There is so much party seperatisim that nothing is getting done. The budget for 2011?.........Not done, IT IS MARCH!!!!!! We are on the verge of a government shut down because these people can't or won't work together.
My solution....more parties. Our country was not always a two or three party system. There were many different parties. Maybe if there were more we wouldn't have this dividing line the house and congress that was ripping our country apart.
My other solution.....NEW PEOPLE!!! We keep voting for the same kind of people to represent us and the same thing keeps happening and we wonder why. America is like a little kid sticking their hand on a hot stove agian and agian wondering why they keep getting burned. Duhhh.......
Congress can be great, but instead they choose to bicker at each other and help the wealthly and failing businesses veruses helping the average Joe get back on his feet.
Isn't the phrase "FOR the people, by the people"
People need to be in Congress because they want to change the country for the better not because they want to sit on their ass and see how much BS the public will take before they kick them out.

Limiting Democracy with the president
Question of the week: In what ways does the US Presidency support or limit the formation of an ideal democracy?
Well, I believe that the President actually limits the formation of an ideal democracy. It seems like the president stopped being about representing the country as a whole and is now just about representing his own political party's agenda. I honestly believe that a president should have no political party bias. This way he can judge get law on its content veruses who wrote it. I understand that one of the major reason why he is there is to be the Commander and Cheif of the Armed Forces, but I honestly feel like he is too involved with the political BS of Congress that it is not helping the country but hurting.
