Current Events > The country is screwed up to have Vice Presidents make a tie-breaking vote.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why not have some crazy mass murderer sentence people in a court system? Why not put a crack addict in charge of a cash office? The vice president on a tie-breaker would always vote under the president's interest. It's a complete asinine approach to the whole thing.

When it comes to something like this, I'd rather the Supreme Court or someone make the final decision instead. Sure, they might be mostly Republican at this point, but there'd be less chance of bias on these ridiculous nominations or ideas passing by.

I dunno. This country has this whole process backwards.

Don't like it? Start complaining to the founding fathers who put this in place.

VP is president of senate, they have every right to place a vote.

Its a shitty vote for a shitty repeal with nothing good to take its place.

Yeah i can't believe it was even a tie considering the vote was "even though we've tried and failed multiple times to come up with anything better, let's repeal the current healthcare system law anyway and try something down the road"

I do feel like this may still play out to everyone's benefit, because if the health system completely collapses, then maybe the real work can be done

i hate to be morose, but thousands of people are dying now under the current health system. It's just those people don't have a voice so they're not represented anywhere, but a lot of people die because they can't afford healthcare
