.....The CONGRESS Disposes.
That's the way the government of this nation is set up, Constitutionally. The overall direction, vision, and needs for the nation, and the definition of requirements to pursue those visions and needs are the purview of the President; with the aid of his staff and Cabinet. In addition, the President is the Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces. Just thought I'd point this out to the reader, in case some of the crap being flung in the media is causing some confusion.
It's the job of the Congress to provide the ways and means for carrying out what is proposed. They can do that job well, poorly, or not at all (as is the present case). Power is divided among an Executive, a Legislative (Congress), and a Judicial Branch of our Federal government. We're now stuck, as a nation, in some new place where a powerful faction has taken over the House of Representatives (where the money is doled out) and it thinks it can run the entire government from there. If power were equally divided, this means that one-half of one-third, or one-sixth, of our governmental structure thinks it runs the whole show. They continue to think so, even after the entire country, through and election, decided otherwise!
One might think that a nation that produces so much garbage might be pretty good at disposal, but maybe that's not what we need right now. Disposition, maybe? Well the faction in the House is certainly in a mean-spirited, petty, and generally foul disposition.
Money lies at the root. You see, "Ol-Triple-Six" decided that government was too big, so he would "starve the beast" by insuring that there would never enough revenue to pay the bills the Congress ran up. "Deficits as far as the eye can see" was the clarion call. That position, taken in 1980, has accumulated enough "deficits" to amount to a whopping "debt" by now. There was a slight pause in the 90's when President Clinton succeeded in turning that trend back toward balance. But the fat's really in the fire now. Just when the spoiled Baby-Boomers, all 76 million of them, start turning 65 at the rate of 10,000 a day!!
In keeping with our blizzard-like weather lately, last night our President "snowed-under" the Congress, with Proposals. Enough to give them "Disposal" Headaches for years to come. It just might get some work out of them. There is a slight indication that their "Disposition" may have improved.
