"Public servants acting as public masters"
The American people are suffering because of it...
In USA Today, Glenn Harlan Reynolds wrote about how our government's separation of powers is becoming dishonored. He concludes with this:
"The sad truth is that when you elect irresponsible people into positions of power, you get irresponsible government. President Obama oozes contempt for Congress, and for longstanding unwritten political accommodations among the branches, at every opportunity. It's unsurprising that his underlings feel — and act — consistently with that view.
If the American electorate votes more responsibly next time, things will get better. Until then, alas, elections have consequences, and this is one of them."
