What else, the US Congress once again remains deadlock...
The recent ‘on again off again’ agreement on the issue of the 2 month extension of the Pay roll tax cut has once again brought into light the deep fractions between the two parties. Funny thing is the current point of fraction is not between the two parties but between the Senate and the House. On Tuesday Republican-led House refused to accept a Senate-passed version of the bill, which passed with 89 votes and the support of all but seven Republicans. The honorable speaker of the house Mr. John Boehner wants Senate to bring some changes to the bill. And don’t forget this is ‘just’ for 2 month extension. The drama will be repeated again come February!!
It’s hard for me to believe that this is the most stable democracy in the world; or may be this is the future of a democratic society- ‘A controlled chaos’. Let’s not kid over selves, a civilized disagreement, by peoples representative on a national stage is lot better then open, violent altercations by the people on the streets. Not that I want to be a part of any of the current congress debates, but I guess as the nation matures and citizens become more aware, the issues will definitely have microscopic discussions. Or may be the current structure of Congress is just broken, only time will tell.
Tell then enjoy the show and a special note to my American friends, please keep your fingers crossed before you open the January pay stub!
