QOTD Double Bonus: Caution: Democarcy Working at Fail!

From Zero Hedge (of course):

If this is the way politics in America will be done going forward, when any party knows the only way to prevent passage of austere financial measures is by fleeing, one wonders: just what is the point of the US "democratic" system when a minority can hold up the majority just by taking the first one way taxpayer funded private jet out of the state?

 I don't think that needs any further statement.
