some problems are not the government's job to fix, or, even worse, are problems created by prior governmental action

what's awesome is that all these "problems that need fixing" are the result of politicians that dimwits like you vote for who drum up things like "healtcare crisis" which didn't exist until they fabricated it, and then you nitwits believe those same politicians actually want to "fix it".
yea, nitwits like you are awesome all right.

When the Republicans have control of the government again, and the problems that they think need fixing are counter to your interests, I suspect you'll be singing the praises of executive restraint and legislative gridlock.
This isn't about conservative versus liberal, or at least it shouldn't be. Just take your least favorite politician and think about what would happen if they had such extraordinary power. If you don't like that idea, your dislike should apply equally, regardless of a politician's ideology or party loyalty.

There was an interesting article in this mth's Esquire magazine re Congress & why it does not work. There were several examples given, but one that stood out, and there are quotes from both Democrats & Republicans confirming this fact: basically, politicians in D.C. work one day a wk at their jobs in Congress. They fly out on a Thursday to return to their district, for fundraising for the most part, return to D.C. on Tues, late, and then, "work" on Wed. One by product of this is that members of Congress do not get a chance to get to know their peers across the aisle, so no working relationships are developed.
