stevef Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Consider also that the president has no power to enact laws- only to propose them and veto the ones from congress he doesn't like. Aside from executive orders. "Stroke of the pen. Law of the Land. Kinda cool." Paul Begala' date=' former advisor to President Clinton. According to Dr. Mott, the President generally uses Executive Orders “to direct federal agencies and officials in their execution of congressionally established laws or policies.” (36) However, sometimes Congress gives the president tremendous latitude when determining “how a law is to be executed.” (37) This can result in the President being able to make “major decisions, even law, without the consent of Congress.” (38) [/i'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I am reminded of Rodney Dangerfield's character in "Back to School" when the economics professor asks the class where they should put their Widget factory. Rodney says, "Fantasy Land!" Way to go Blackie... it's good to remind the right why they got stuck with a "socialist" president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before' date=' but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked & that no one would be poor & no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged & everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail & no one would receive an A... After the first test, the grades were averaged & everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset & the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less & the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame & name-calling all resulted in hard feelings & no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, & the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. I didn't go through the whole thread, I just read the story and really liked it. My only objection, since we do have to be very precise on these things: the state that the professor demostrated is NOT the one of Socialism, it's the one of Communism. HUUUUUGE differences between the two of them. A personal note: ALL systems are due to fail. Why? Because they are designed to be run from and for humans. Full of weaknesses humans. The only ''system'' I would care to listen to and follow, is the one that would support a long-term development of human mind, human personality and human emotional intelligence. I estimate that we are a few millenia far from that yet... That is IF we make it that far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
