With Democrat Party leadership nothing but lawyers for decades the U.S. Government has piled up 37 trillion dollars of public debt. Lawyers argue for a living- it is their training. They do not seek reconciliation. Thus the U.S. Government will closes at because lawyers could not agree on a budget resolution.
Lawyers argue in U.S. courts for their clients before an impartial judge and jury. In the government there is no impartial judge or jury that adversaries in the adversarial system of justice argue to. Instead they seek to build power alliances sufficient to pin their defeated opponents as in wrestling tag team events.
Lawyers running the U.S. government will encounter a lot of friction with their adversaries of other parties. They are great in the Judicial branch of government theoretically deciding as impartial interpreters of law and evidence the consitutionality of laws passed by congress and actions of the Executive branch of government.
When Americans are silly enough to pack their congress and executive branch with lawyers the fruits of that choice are manifest- debt and dysfunction as arguments abound and billable hours roll.
