Balence of Power

From The Electorate:

The balance of power in our federal government is no longer in balance. Does this not disturb Congress? The executive branch has become a many headed monster that is a power unto itself. Powers that are vested in Congress are ignored.

We have so many czars that Russian should become our second language. These czars are unelected, unconfirmed, and responsible only to the Executive branch. Where is Congressional oversight?

Today broad new regulations with broad new powers are being placed on our financial institutions. Should not Congress have a say in how our financial institutions are regulated? Is Congress to become a rubber stamp? Is it no longer relevant? Congress is the branch of federal government that is most responsible to the people. You are our voices. Are our voices going to be ignored and silenced?
