If one part of the gov can simply over ride established laws, it is unconstitutional. A president can veto a Bill, but cannot retroactively cancel it. Otherwise, what is the point of passing any bill?
I think that Presidents have used that executive order to the extreme and it probably should be put to death.
All I am suggesting is what is the point of Congress passing a bill and then potentially years later of a President simply signing his name and killing the bill? Since there are supposed balance of powers, this makes no sense.
That's how this government has been corrupted over the past 100 years. I agree with you. Once a law is passed by Congress, it should be untouchable except by Congress itself...or maybe the Supreme Court.
Exactly.
Did you see Biden's new Stimulus proposal? It is insane. I cannot believe it will pass though I suspect it probably will. He is bankrupting the next generation for sure.
Spend now, pay later. You are talking about the Infrastructure plan, right? The roads and bridges of this country are falling apart, though. In WNY, it's actually dangerous to drive over some of our bridges.
A very small portion of the bill is for actual infrastructure. It is a total joke.
That sounds like the Stimulus Bill. More fat than fact.
Biden was responsible for distribution of the Obama Stimulus which did nothing except give money to designated Democratic supporters...Meanwhile, the US is already 30 Trillion in debt. Who is gonna bail us out? China???
That's been the policy of every administration in my lifetime. Spend now, worry about it later. The U.S. had a balanced budget just once I can remember. Outside of that, it's spend like money is going out of style. It's both Republican and Democrat administrations that have run up the debt to a point of no return.
Right. The last time we did not have a deficit etc was during Bill Clinton's administration.
Just got back from my friendly Indian casino where we had a great time. I had my 7th Calvary hat and if people asked my name said it was George from Buffalo.
You should have said you were Razzman from Buffalo. LOL
That balanced budget was certainly short-lived. With every administration since, it was go for all the gusto and don't worry about the future of our kids.
It is a joke. All they do is print money and hope there is no inflation.
No question that Ron Paul is right on. Rand is spot on with a lot of issues.
I actually prefer the dad, Ron over Rand. Some of Rand's policies and his actions are not along my way of thinking. I did see Ron Paul speak in person when he was campaigning for President and was able to talk to him shortly.
Ron does seem to have his head on a bit straighter. Though I would take Rand over a lot of the Republicans.
The two books I read by Ron Paul were excellent. Too bad he is so old, and that probably was one of the problems he had when he was running for President.
Ron Paul also speaks with a lot of common sense, which is not good in the currently total political world we live in.
Yea, his common sense and his age were factors in him not getting enough support. You're right. There is not too much common sense going on in the Swamp.
