Yup, it is scary, could be overrode by congress if vetoed.
Whatever the reason is for US intervention in Middle East (naive to think that US is only interested in liberating people from dictatorship) of course is OIL supply. Just like Vietnam is containment of Communism. The chaos is caused mainly by big powers and tribal religious version (Sunni vs Shite just a different type of Muslim, similar to Catholics vs Protestants in N. Ireland). Sunni lost power in Iraq and need to rebel for their people.
I digressed here, back to topic, US politics is really interesting because of democracy. Votes of rural and rich areas mainly Republicans, Urban and poor people mainly Democrats, problem is poor do not often vote. Total vote counts may be higher for Democrats and favoring presidents. Rural and suburban area dominated by Republicans and getting more seats in Congress. When Republicans (doctor or real estate tycoon ?) take over the Presidency, wonder what they will do. Unless US lowers the corporate tax rate, US companies are doing the tax inversion route to do so, think Burger King, Big Pharma etc moving to offshore to lower their tax rate. All the US profits staying OFFSHORE and they borrow big time HERE in US at low rates.
Minimal infrastructure spending (like China doing big time) and they are crumbling. |
