Why Is The Government of the United States So Hard To Do?

The government of the United States of America always seems to be fighting with itself. The President is fighting with the Courts. Congress is fighting with the President. The Supreme Court Justices are fighting with each other. All Americans want is for government to run smoothly, but what if it wasn't supposed to run smoothly? What if each generation is looking for someone... anyone to "fix things", but they aren't broken. Are we expecting the wrong things? This book says, "Yes, lower your expectations, and be glad that government is fighting itself. Otherwise, it might decide to fight you."
