| sethnintendo said: After thinking about my last post it made me almost want to make a thread about why do people blame the President for certain things when they should be pointing the finger at Congress. It is the House and Senate's job to make the budget. Sure the President proposes a budget but that doesn't really mean shit. It is up to the House and Senate to approve a budget. I believe most Americans are just too uneducated to even realize what the three branches roles are. Pretty obvious when you have idiots reelecting idiots over and over again. When someone keeps getting their job back after a less than 30% job approval rating then you know something is fucked up. |
Its pretty said when its been over 1000 days since the U.S. Senate has even passed a budget. pretty lame.
But also in fairness while not everything is the president's fault he still has allowed the U.S. national debt to increase by around 5 trillion since he took office. Its around 15 trillion now. He was quoted as saying that "Bush increased our national debt by 4 trillion in his 8 year administration and thats unpatriotic." Well I'd say 5 trillion debt increase in just over 3 years is pretty piss poor as well. He has the power of veto so he could have chosen to limit the debt increase if he wanted to. All to say yes both House and Senate are to blame but blame also has to reside at the feet of the president for allowing 5 trillion to be added to the U.S debt.
