In the classroom where two centuries flowed in from the waves of popular instincts more tumultuous in the nation, "the House of Representatives" that is renewed only every two years yesterday by beating the new heart of American politics and pounding on the right. But it is a right, indeed, an American, then the federalist, libertarian, anti-government but also fiercely, fanatically devoted to the Constitution that today, at the behest of the controversial new members elected by the tide of populist Tea Party will be recited in a loud voice from the benches of the House.I hope that Members are not confused, as did the new Speaker, the Speaker of the House John Boehner, when he read the Declaration of Independence ("All men are created equal. And have the same rights ..) mistaking it for the Constitution (We, the People, We the People of the United States ....).
It would be a symbolic event, this secular rite that the tide of insurgent Republicans also imposed his own party is the shot that signals the start of war, or guerrilla warfare against the real target of this new House: President Barack Obama. The articles, and principles that are dear to those who read them that debt is from 1787, when they were adopted, regulating and limiting the powers of the federal government in Washington, and that the "insurgents" of this new right to accuse Obama have violated and abuse charges with crazy laws halter reforms "socialist" such as health and, in the words of the deputy of Virginia, Cantor, "corrupt." At least for the first weeks, when the House will begin legislative work in 20 days, the new Republican majority made monumental by the November 2 election with 242 seats against 193, must pay the bill with its rhetorical voters, and especially with "handling" of the Tea Party, to do essentially one thing and one only: to try to demolish everything that Obama and the Democratic majority in the outgoing and destroyed, they had done.
Beginning with the odious, for them, and unconstitutional, a law that requires all citizens to have health insurance. The day yesterday under the neo-classical dome of the Capitol seemed to be the first day of school in high school, with the excitement of new fresh faces, the faces of the darkened mouth, euphoria promoted - 93 out of 435 deputies to the first term, a nearly one quarter - the snarling happy to have snatched the gavel of power to the outgoing Speaker hated, the Italian-American Nancy D'Alessandro Pelosi, first woman and first "Italian" in that office, and handing him over to the new Chairman of the Assembly, John Boehner, the son of a tavern in Cincinnati with 12 children, moved from cloth with which she cleaned the floor of the saloon to the third charge of the Republic.
But as the history of the legislative policy of each parliament, already the sound of the "machine to make sausages," as Otto von Bismarck called compromises the laws and principles of solemn crushed by reality, they began to feel. And with the inevitable salsamenteria fervor of the election promises and handled, it draws the outline of new disappointments and new, future "reversals" of elections.
The right-wing majority is a majority worried that carries within itself the seeds of its own self-destruction. The same John Boehner elected to the battalion due to push the anti-State, led by Paul Rand in Kentucky, son of Senator Ron Paul and the first case of "father and son sitting in both chambers, the rebels of tea, you could see as it eventually will be the skilled butchers and not the "pure and hard" anti-fundamentalism Obama to win the guerrilla war of laws.
Cancellation dell'esecrata health reform will be voted in the House, but it will stop in the Senate, where Democrats have retained a majority of 53 to 47. The firm promise, repeated twice in the new "Contract with America", even a pledge, an oath, to cut 100 billion from the federal budget to reduce the deficit of the Red Sea, will not be maintained because of the heavier items expenditure, as the account from 720 billion for the Pentagon, to the right, sacred cows and no one dares to touch the pension and social security for the elderly.
If all goes well, the cut will be a maximum of 50 billion. While the measure was on the minds of most Republicans, the renewal of tax cuts from Bush launched nine years ago, has already been renewed, thanks to a compromise between the parties, at the end of the outgoing Parliament. And on March 14 next year, this Chamber of insurgents, rebels to the tyranny of central government, impatient of the game of stratospheric national debt reached the figure of 14,000 billion dollars, will have to renege on the promise and vote to block it, including protests , dialectical somersault and other charges, to raise the roof, as only Parliament can do.
Or risk the "default" of all debts, then the U.S. Treasury, the manner of Argentine bonds or Russian. But just that, behind the hypocritical protests against the impotence of Parliament, is that, without admitting it, the America of the road like that of banks or firms that still have a bad opinion of their parliament (14% favorable) want.
A government that does little, therefore, does little damage, according to the Constitution - not the Declaration of Independence, was confused as the new leader of the House - which, in the rough, diffident wisdom of landowners, shopkeepers and traders fled eighteenth-century Europe , would first of all not to give, not the executive, not legislative, not judicial power to impose itself on others.
Reagan and Clinton, the two best presidents of the past half century, will govern with a Parliament having success fierce opposition. It will be just the Constitution that the American right to rebel against Obama flying hour limit at the end the ambitions of those who flies.
