    Andy Stern doesn't like checks and balances

    Our democracy is frozen, calcified like arteries beset by arteriosclerosis. Everyone acting on their own behalf, protecting their own interests, has stopped up the flow of democracy, and as a result, America is falling behind.


    From the op-ed:

    Now, however, in the midst of the transformative change of globalization and this third economic revolution, those layers have become an impediment to making the changes necessary to keep America competitive in the world economy. Today, America crawls along at a snail's pace.
    Poor Stern. He can't shove what he thinks should be done on the citizens of the USA. Curse those founding fathers for setting up a form of government that prevents tyrannical rule.

    Yes, the damn congress just gets in the way. For example, why should the president need congress' approval to the declare war "limited military operations" on Libya? Only someone like George W. Bush would do that.

        I know you well enough that I'd never insult you by lumping you in with Stern.
