Agreed. The government that governs best governs least. This is why I hate it when the same party controls the house, senate, and oval office. In a perfect world, you'd have the republicans in one, the democrats in another, and, oh, what the heck, the Illinois Nazis in the last one. Between the three of 'em, no legislation would be passed.
Some folks might see that as obstructionism. I see it as confiscating the pen that writes all those checks.
