Talk:Gridlock (politics)

It would be great if there were examples here of gridlock in the US. -- Edgriebel 13:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Typical Scenario of Domestic Political Gridlock-

Introduction- In observing the tincure play and tapestry exchange between the two major political parties of the bipartisan system, it becomes an obvious pendulum effect within the common House/Senate bodies to declare a Gridlock; the instance of manifesting obligation verses liability of all parties therein.

Terminology & Definitions- During any given Administration, bodies of governance are exposed to two main types of gridlock, a gridlock by force or a Forced Gridlock and a gridlock by nature or Natural Gridlock. In both tense, an example would be to where in an ancient civilization, their are two tribes competing for resources in the same village. The pendulum effect becomes evident when the tribe's resources are most depleted and most supplied. During more complex tribal governance, the two parties compete in more conservative and even hostile ways to increase the value of the resources. During times of dispute or war, the tribes fall into gridlock after a pre-defined war plan has been exchanged between the two parties and their differences are still not resolved. This can also be called a 'Deadlock', the political instance of polarization in which two opposite charges or parties can neither defeat or be neuturalized by the other.

Gridlock As A Political Instrument- Most major campaigns require a particular minimum of performance and commitment to be vested in the administration; a declaration of gridlock has been known to be a very effective instrument in establishing variances. In such situations, this would normally be considered a forced gridlock in which keynote and specific issues are targeted by the incumbent party and left on an open agenda to be resolved by an opponent of the opposite party; so giving extended scope of exercise for the incumbent during the new administration. There may also be certain types of instruments recalled by a Congress or other administrative body so as to reduce the effects of a gridlock or anticipated repercussions due to wars, natural disasters and other major events within a government.

Arguements & Opposing Issues- Perspective of political opinion and documentation can be broad across a very large spectrum of outcome; and arguements of perspective and opposing issues are the core powerplant within any gridlock. Such issues may also be called what is known as a filibuster; the instance in which a bill or other issue is used to intentionally obstruct or encroach another oncoming measure or party. Such actions are considered as being an ethical question by lawmakers and policy writers. Yet the gridlock powerplant and its outage ratios are historically known within the diplomatic process and political streamform as being a centralized source of posting and resolving new bills and legislation.

Economic Gridlock & Consumer Confidence

The instance in which gridlock becomes relevant in the Economy is known as Economic Gridlock; the circumstantial progression of infidelity and breach of trust within the economy. Economic gridlock is generally displayed by economist who wish to manifest examples of the supply and demand of which any particular economy may undergo. This includes Consumer Confidence being used as a prime indicator of consumer preference and tolerances.

Economic Stimuluses & Recession- The United States of America is a heavy producer of goods on the overseas market, in balancing domestic budgetary requirements and regulatory stress, its government uses a method of economic gridlock known as an Economic Stimulus; a prepared tax-based package endorsed by the Federal government to administer a prescribed prime directive within the consumer tax base itself. This tax base may include petroleum and gas prices, farming and produce profits and general revenues generated by retail outlets and even the housing market; the country's largest consumer spending market. These stimuluses may be in the form of direct liquidation of existing public debt or obligation, or it may also be in a long-term form such as a rise or lowering of the Federal Interest Rate. To either extent, the government is attempting to capitalize on known short-comings and market strengths by bookmarking its outstanding public debt.

Recession is defind as 'the phenomema of observing an automatic justification of an economy stimulus'. Recession is stated by many economist as being a negative factor against market stability due to its downslaught approach to trimming the Federal budget. But recent laws and legislature observing recessionary trends proved that its effectiveness in avoiding known threats to the economy is a more superior approach that forestated. In 2008, the United States Congress approved an economic stimulus package which preambled its legislature's aid package to assist the country's stagnant housing market. The package included issuing a Federal tax rebate to all eligible citizens, of which credited them with a 'token' check for general consumer usage. This stimulus was dubbed a Judas treasury because of its similarity between the Chirstian religious godhead, Christ and the President of the United States.

Savings Bonds & Other Government Notes- The US offers its citizens and investors a quaint, yet highly-appreciating monetary option during a recession known as a US Savings Bond; an financial instrument used to build up treasury and other governmental agencies by means of investing in resolving public debt. A saving bond is generally a long-term obligation, meaning that its benefits will not be apparent for the investor until its maturity. But the immediate relief such an instrument can have during an economic gridlock could easily clear any generally accepted accounting benchmarks of a governmental entity. This 'loyalty' to a country's economic principles becomes more relevant as the signs and other economic indictors begin to produce a higher yield of mitigation during a gridlock situation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Habatchii (talk • contribs) 16:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Effects Produced Because of Gridlock

The manifest of a gridlock can produce a broad assortment of 'spillway' campaign platforms or effects; all of which may directly play a role in the directives of the gridlock's political infrastructure. Effects both from a positive and negative vantage point can be observed during the manifest period of the campaign, typically all of which may be incorporated (Forced) or non-incorporated (Natural) bodies and entities. A brief overview of existing spillway campaigns and their effects are:

Spillway Campaign	Effects
Self-Support & Homestead Indicators	Disfuct Governance & Domestic Policy
Local Government Indicators	Police Abuse & Crime Rate Increase
Economic Indicators	Consumer Confidence Instability & Inflation/Recession/Stagnation
Socialogical Indicators	Adult Illiteracy & Detached Diplomatic Policy
Technological Indicators	Intellectual Property Disputes & Mandated Productivity
Private & Corporate Sector Indicators	Stiffend Sanction & Trade Agreements
Administrative Indicators	Party Instability & Secession

These examples are just a fraction of anticipated responses and effects which could occurred during a declared gridlock; more scientifically sound explainations of socialogic and environmental conditions are still being investigated. Political science and diplomacy should not be confused with violence or terrorism, for these conditions are generally governed by para-military extremist cells and not any mainstream political movement.

Political Husbandry & Gridlock

The concept of 'Political Husbandry' compliments the definition of gridlock, yet falls short of the natural development of the condition and phenomena due to the intimacy of both parties. In political husbandry, two opposing parties are found in agreeance that one party shall assume protectorate over the other, thus delegation of regulatory policy and governance. While in a pure gridlock, neither party actually recognizes the objectives or directive of the other, especially during deliberations. Deliberations represents the level of uncertainty the two parties theoretically 'stockpile' against the each other during the manifestation. These may include any or all of the gridlock indicators and their effects.
