Why would Democrats agree to any budget deal when all of it can be overturned by executive fiat?

This is part of the big manufacturing lie: that people can get jobs with no education or training just wielding screwdrivers.
Apple cannot make iPhones in the US without an army of tooling engineers, and we don’t even have the tooling engineers here to educate an army of tooling engineers.

Lutnick: "The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones -- that kind of thing is going to come to America."

Again, this idea has been floating out there for ages, and many other governments around the globe use the concept of shadow cabinets. Why haven't the Dems actually done this?

Are we now in a world where the POTUS has the same capabilities to speak/act infallibly as the Pope? The US political version of "ex Cathedra" while performing his official acts. SMH
But soldiers can be given illegal orders.
Presidents can't give illegal orders.
That's where we're heading.
