My favorite columnist Thomas Sowell has posted an excellent essay titled “Who Shut Down The Government?”
Sowell doesn’t really answer the question directly, but he does lay out the facts about what Congress can and cannot do. Most people with a mind will be able to discern for themselves what the answer is. I tried to re-blog the essay here but could not, and I didn’t want to steal it with a cut and paste so I have to ask you to click on the link and read the article.
Sowell rightly points out that the Democrat complaint that Congress should pass a “clean” bill somehow implies that Congress is putting something dirty in front of the Senate. Americans complain that Congress is not doing its job. Congress has very low poll ratings. I support that Congress is doing its job per the Constitutional mandate. The mis-interpretation comes from the Constitutional Lecturer-in-Chief himself.
What scares the hell out of me is how stupidly people buy into the lies being told to convince the them of the wonders of the Affordable Care Act.
Ley me know what you think. Who is responsible?
