Defunct and Broke. Run by criminals and special interests. Lack of progress due to indifference and corruption. A place where neocons rule and democrats hide under their desks in the fetal position scared of taking a stance. Basically a completely worthless social/governmental institution.
A bunch of lying, back-stabbing, double-crossing, faggot-ass theives. Exhibit a nasty holier-than-thou attitude. They have their eyes on you, their ears on your phone line, and their head up everyone's ass.
not a direct democracy; a republic of the elite autocrats doing what ever the hell want to do with your hard earned cash(i.e. not you, democrats, or minorities)
