Then why is over 1/4 of London in complete poverty?

Thats debatable. But they should since your country is tiny in comparison.

It is indeed. But then we do have to deal with the EU.

If you give congress the powers, nothing will get done. Even on something like this where, judging by the comments from the conservative types where, there was widespread support, nothing has been agreed.

The constitution (I know, who follows it) very clearly gives war making power to Congress - and not the President. And the "get's stuff done" or "doesn't get stuff done" is a non sequitor to me.

Stuff I want to see done - Repeal of ACA

Repeal of 16th and 17th amendments

Repeal act that set House representation at 435 members, no matter the size of the population.

i could go on...

Agreed. 2 more words for ya:

TERM. LIMITS.

I have grown skeptical of having a president worthy of those powers. And there is a lot of wisdom in giving Congress and not the executive branch war making powers.

This editorial by Rand Paul is not knee jerk in the least. And where Obama or people in his administration have chosen to insert themselves, especially in the middle east, the results have been disasterous.

And I don't discount the possibility that Obama's advisers might prompt him to do the right thing at some point and then I would not want Congress to slow or halt that decision whatever it may be.

As much as I dislike the Obama administration I also feel that the opposition does take the knee-jerk reaction too far sometimes.
