Thursday Outlook: The Inflation Con Game

For the first four year, he didn't have to use a veto, b/c the congress was in control already. The veto in a democracy is a shame in its own right; it's more adequate in authoritarian systems. Are we living in Russia? People have no voice. Their voice is muffled by the self-indulging congress to begin with. And then, if sometimes the interest of the people is aligned with the interest of congress, you can see the results, and feel happy as if you have the power; the power of the people, the "by the people, for the people..." kind of illusion. If we were really interested in fixing the system, it doesn't take much to do so. Why is Europe better in their social systems? Now, they seem to work "for the people." Of course, there will be some exceptions, but the standard of living over there is much better than here in the US.
