Democracy works! (sort of....)

I remember way back in the 90s when I took US history (does that make me sound old?). There was a chapter that talked about checks and balances (or so I think.. Im kinda making this up). I was so excited to know that there was in place a way of making sure not too much power ws concentrated in one branch. Ah the naivete of youth. That was of course before the supreme court certified a national election, the executive branch continually provided false information to push their agenda, and no vetoes were given out for the first few years. Well here comes The Congress! Bushy decided that a $22.3 bilion bill (because he knows thats a big number... except when its applied to the Middle East and then its basically minimum wage, right?) that dealt with water projects needed to be vetoed. Keep in mind that the city of Atlanta is currently extremely close to a massive drought. But Bush says no! Them demycrats is always just a taxin' and spending ya know. Well the House overrode the veto by quite a few votes because they are not stupid. The Senate is likely to folow suit as they voted 86-11 the first time (i think.. look it up.. im too lazy). The White House doesnt think this will set precedent, but then again look whos runnig it...
