Two thoughts for the day: 1) Failure on the level of government - TopicsExpress



          

Two thoughts for the day: 1) Failure on the level of government shutdown leads to immediate negative consequences for legislators in other democracies, e.g. in Australia the Senate and House can be dissolved. An application of the idea of skin in the game. In the U.S. the overpaid legislators ($174,000/year) continue to draw their annual salaries. 2) Sometimes Id like to move to a functioning democracy, but then I remember that this broken one has the most bellicose military on the planet and needs as much counterbalancing force as it can muster.
