Checks and Balances

A system of checks and balances
  Is the fulcrum of democracy

Governments write many checks
  But their budgets never balance

   ~ So how about plutocracy

Goofacracy is alive and well. We have never had democracy. Democracy would mean the popular vote elects your president, which every country in the world has except this one.

John Lawless shed light on your comment... He wrote that I should leave Mickey's dog (Pluto) out of this! So now I see what a 'Goofocracy' really is: A government like Goofy (the dog). Smiles, Gershon
