Government: The essence of the People
Just days into the start of the 114th congress, the House moved to prevent certain provisions in OBAMACARE from being passed. Provisions that could possibly hurt the job market. Congress wished to pass a bill that would raise the 30 hour minimum of a full time worker to 40. Critics claim defining full time workers as those working at least 30 hours a week is pressuring firms to save money by cutting the workers hours below that. The president threatened to veto the bill no matter what. Congress passed the bill anyway.
It seems that all during the time of the 113th congress, Democrats slammed Republicans for stopping them at every turn, but current events are showing the country that they are no better. It seems that through checks and balances, the two parties are entering into an all out brawl that will last a LONG time. This is not just a political issue anymore. This is the clashing of two different cultures living in the same country. James Madison set up a system in which factions would compete for control and argue in a diplomatic way through a system of checks and balances. This is exactly what we are seeing here. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/01/08/house-approves-obamacare-bill-despite-veto-threat/
