The American System Misleading Labels

The American system misleading labels. Congress doesn't really do much in terms of lawmaking. Some laws are made by congressional staff, but the vast majority are written by professional bureaucrats who look a lot more like the executive branch. A congressperson would much rather help an old lady with a social security check than make potentially controversial laws about immigration or intellectual property. What they prefer to do is write elaborate budgets that exert detailed control over how the government spends money,. which is a fucking executive branch.
