gridlock [ˈgrɪdˌlɒk] Chiefly US
n
1. (Engineering / Automotive Engineering) obstruction of urban traffic caused by queues of vehicles forming across junctions and causing further queues to form in the intersecting streets
2. a point in a dispute at which no agreement can be reached; deadlock political gridlock
Peter Orszag, former member of the Obama Budget team, says that the US should rely more on super committees to do what congress has not done due to gridlock. What about questioning whether or not it was APPROPRIATE to do what was being argued about in Congress? That won't happen, so now what? Well, Bev Perdue, the Democratic Governor of North Carolina thinks that Congress isn't acting on passing Obama's legislative plan like Nancy and Harry did in the past due to fear of losing their jobs...so she thinks we should suspend elections until all Obama's bills are passed. I'm assuming she wants to be invited to the coronation. Hey Bev, maybe we don't want Congress doing anything until after more of the guilty are voted out. Or, maybe it's taking so much longer to get things done because Congress is READING the bills before voting on them. I can't wait for your next election Bev. Don't forget, "Elections have consequences"...I think Obama said that.
