Chapter 1354 - Slap someone
Barack is very angry!
Since becoming the helmsman of the United States, he is nominally the most powerful person in the United States, but only when he reached this position did Barack know that this position is not easy to sit.
It seems to be glorious, but it is only in appearance.
In fact, in the United States, the power of the president is not as great as imagined.
This is also a major feature of the United States.
It is said that the United States has a separation of powers, which is not just talk, but very reasonable.
The US president has little power internally. The federal government is formed by the states and is not the superior of the state government. This means that the US president has no power to appoint and dismiss governors. Without the power of appointment and dismissal, there is naturally no deterrent power. It is normal for the governors and state officials of each state to ignore the president. It is not uncommon for the governors and state officials of each state to scold the US president. There are many cases, and it happens every year.
Each state has a National Guard, which belongs to the state, not the US Department of Defense. That is to say, the US president cannot dispatch and command the National Guard of each state under normal circumstances.
Of course, this does not mean that the US president has no power. The US president has great power in foreign affairs, because diplomacy and military are under the responsibility of the federal government, and the United States is the world's number one power!
The president may not be a puppet of the big capitalists, but it is indeed difficult to deal with the big capitalists under the American system.
Why Barack firmly extended a helping hand to Wall Street and a large amount of funds flowed to Wall Street, in addition to the importance of finance to the United States, there is also an important aspect, that is, interests!
After the US president leaves office, the family wealth often soars sharply. This is not because they are good at business, but because it is full of interests.
Barack wants to carry out medical reform because the interests are extremely amazing.
Even if you accidentally make a little profit, you can easily make hundreds of millions of dollars. If you are more greedy, it is not difficult to make a billion dollars.
Look at George Wharton. During his eight-year term, the Bush family's wealth has more than doubled.
It is said that the United States is democratic and free, and there are no aristocratic families. That is just fooling people.
The Abrams family, which has three generals in one family; the Clark family, which has three generals in one family; the Bradley family, which has five stars and four stars
And the Douglas family!
MacArthur said that my father was a lieutenant general because the highest military rank in the United States at that time was a lieutenant general.
The Patton family, which has nine generations of generals, the founder of the Patton family commanded 5,000 people during the War of Independence, when the Continental Army had only tens of thousands of people. His grandfather and six brothers were all colonels during the Civil War.
This is just the military. In the political world, the United States has had a total of 44 presidents so far, 35 of whom are the five blue-blooded aristocrats in New England, that is, the five heroes of the Declaration of Independence. Even Barack, who created a people-friendly and grassroots counterattack, is one of them. His earliest can be traced back to the boss of Qichang Foreign Company.
So much so that there is a saying in the United States: All the presidents of the United States must have an ancestor on the Mayflower!
"Damn George Wharton!" Barack couldn't help but curse George Wharton again.
He felt that George Wharton was the culprit for his current embarrassing situation.
If George Walton had not rashly launched two medium-sized wars, the United States would not have become what it is now.
The annual military expenditure of the United States is an astronomical figure. As for the 10 trillion US debt, the annual interest is not small. In addition, there is this financial crisis. It is like a big pit, and Barack just jumped into this big pit.
Whatever Barack does, he is scolded!
He was scolded for using large amounts of money to rescue the market and large companies being "too big to fail". He was scolded for causing inflation to soar.
He was also scolded for proposing medical reforms, and was accused of taking benefits from pharmaceutical giants and large hospitals.
He was still scolded for visiting Europe, and was accused of pushing the United States to the opposite side of South America, causing the United States to lose South America. Energy prices are falling all over the world, but because a considerable proportion of the United States imports oil from South America, his words have caused a sharp rise in the price of oil imported from South America, so that the price of oil at gas stations in the United States has soared.
He just said that the United States intends to deploy medium-range ballistic missiles and the "THAAD" system in Japan. In fact, he just wanted to talk big to let the people know that he is not a weak person. As a result, he was slapped in the face.
This laser is not just hitting an abandoned satellite.
It is telling the United States that all your satellites in the sky can be destroyed at once. Even if you deploy "medium-range ballistic missiles", it is useless. You can shoot them down without a single mistake.
As for the US missile defense system, it is indeed very advanced and can defend against most of the missiles in the world.
There are only a few missiles in the world that can break through the US missile defense system.
And these missiles happen to be in the hands of the two countries on the other side.
When Barack thought of the military's warning to him, he was furious.
You know, he is the President of the United States. In name, he is the highest head of the U.S. federal government and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. As the president, he theoretically has the power to appoint federal government ministers, nominate a series of administrative officials, approve/reject parliamentary bills, deploy armed forces, etc.
But this is only in name and in theory!

Before this, the president who really had the greatest power was Roosevelt!
Many countries believe that Roosevelt is the most outstanding president of the United States. They believe that it was Roosevelt who helped the United States achieve world hegemony and created the world pattern after World War II, that is, the Yalta system.
Many people believe that if the United States wants to change the current situation and save the economic crisis, another Roosevelt must appear.
But in fact, since the death of Roosevelt, the United States has tried every means to adjust the system, and these systems are almost all designed around one point: when the empire is on the verge of destruction, there will not be a second Roosevelt to save it.
According to the current netizens, Roosevelt is a ruthless man who can control the surging public opinion with one hand, hold the restless army with one hand, step on the factory owners with one foot, and step on the bankers with one foot.
At that time, Roosevelt made the capitalists of the capitalist country of the United States pay 90% of the tax!
As for why American capitalists are willing to pay 90% of the tax? Naturally, those who are unwilling are eliminated from the body!
If there is no comparison with hanging street lamps and shaving people's heads, are American rich people crazy?
The fireside chats that everyone knows: President Roosevelt, who is disabled, moved the big tycoons with his love and sincerity. They saw that President Roosevelt was suffering from illness and still worked day and night, and they took out US dollars.
The real fireside chats: President Roosevelt chatted with them on the surface, but secretly thought of where to bury them if they disobeyed him!
There is an interesting story here, that is, on the day Roosevelt died, the Brazilian ambassador to the United States went to Buffett's father, and found that the old man was opening champagne to celebrate the death of President Roosevelt! (End of this chapter)
