The Job of the President

Beyond the taboo of discussing politics with your crazy uncle during family gatherings, I seek to discuss American government and public policy from scholarly perspective, but broken down so that anyone can digest it. I find that we get frustrated with government because we don't perceive it to "do what the people want", which is partially true. However, I think most of this frustration comes from misconceptions stemming from not fully understanding how government and public policy works. If we want the government to do what is best for us, we have to understand the rules of the game!
