The Three Ring Circus

If you have ever been to a circus, a 3 ring circus, you know that there is a lot of action going on all at the same time. People on the trapeze swinging, the lion tamer keeping the animals at bay, the clowns running around clowning. It sounds just sort of like our Federal government. Unfortunately though, in today’s reality it really is like a 3 ring circus gone amuck. However, that’s now how the founding fathers envisioned it.

This School House Rock video is a great analogy to how the 3 rings are like the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of our government. It is a great analogy showing how it is supposed to work. However, when all three branches are on the same side ideologically, then that’s when the Circus short circuits.
