I don't like it, but everyone had their chance at the polls and our side lost.

Ah, but as Mr. Sowell so aptly put, our government includes a system of checks and balances to ensure one branch does not wield absolute power. Congress submitted a tax law we call the ACA, the president signed the tax law, the SCOTUS upheld (and clearly identified) the tax law, and now the body responsible for submitting spending proposals is deciding to DELAY the funding for this tax law for the same period as unions and large businesses have been given for implementing it--1 year.

It seems "our side" is exercising its Constitutionally-defined power to influence spending to leverage the checks & balances system, regardless of what the "winners" want.

Clearly the last 20 years have demonstrated that it certainly isn't the TAXPAYERs that own the government.

So maybe the dem's DO own this wreck. Now if we can just get someone to take responsibility for fixing it.
