The question settling over this Capitol as we face the\nfiscal cliff is: How can this be happening? It's hyperpartisanship\nmeets Citizens United. America's politics are so saturated with money\nand so politically polarized that the system cannot function to meet\nits obligations to keep the government running. But make no mistake\nabout it--government does work. It's working for Pentagon contractors,\nfor arms manufacturers, for oil companies, for coal companies. It's\nworking for those who want to hold down wages and suppress the rights\nof workers. It's working for drug companies whose sweetheart deal on\nprescription drugs blew a hole in the Medicare budget.\n  The apparent dysfunctionality of government masks the reality that\nthe tax resources of government increasingly are going to the highest\nbidders in a $4 billion national election. The debris at the bottom of\nthe fiscal cliff will be the wrecked hopes of doctors and Medicare\npatients, unemployed workers who can't protect their families, and\nmiddle class taxpayers who just can't pay any more. Our Nation's pose\nat the fiscal cliff is proof of the necessity of a constitutional\namendment, H.J. Res. 100, to rid this Nation of the corrupting\ninfluence of special interest money with public financing, which\nrecreates a true government of the people.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2012-12-31-pt1-PgH7476-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.941703889518976, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
