The World According to Me.

Sounds like Dems need a quick recap in the branches of government in the United States. The reason you have three is for a series of checks and balances so one can't run rough-shot over the others.

Well too bad, had government policies not wrecked the business world with ridiculous "status quo" elements, the 'fall of the market' wouldn't have been so substantial. But t...
