Chapter 1749 Consideration
In the Commonwealth, the lineage of politicians matters!

There are many federal people who believe that a politician does not need to have a prominent background. This idea is actually wrong from the beginning.

Indeed, in the history of the Federation, there are indeed many presidents who were born as civilians. This is indeed a fact.

But this is also limited to the president.

In Congress, in the three major parties, especially in the top committees of the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party, are there really people from the bottom who have no background?

Obviously not possible!
Why is it impossible for the House of Representatives to have a president?

It is because only those who lack identity background will be thrown into the House of Representatives, and these people will naturally not be able to give birth to the president.

On the contrary, it is the governor, and the president is easy to appear among the senators, because these people are different from others from birth!
What is different is not their physical characteristics, but their identities, backgrounds, and families!
The "bloodline" Truman refers to is the bloodline of his political life!
He is from the military, and his relationship with the Progressive Party is very delicate. Some people in the Progressive Party even refuse to admit that Mr. President is a member of the Progressive Party!

In fact, Mr. Truman himself is very aware of this point. He lacks a foundation within the Progressive Party.

His coming to power was actually a cooperation between the Progressive Party and the military. He was just a front-stage figure pushed out at an appropriate time!
So now when something good happens, he doesn't think of those in the Progressive Party, but Lynch.

At least Lynch is one of his own. If Lynch's people can have more influence and occupy more positions in Congress, it is actually a good thing for him.

As long as Lynch does not fall, it can be ensured that some regulations and policies promulgated during his tenure can continue!
The two laughed for a while before Mr. Truman continued, "As for the powers and obligations of Congress, someone needs to bring it up first."

He looked at Lynch, and Lynch also realized the meaning behind this sentence.

This is obviously a choice that is very beneficial to Congress. Enterprises control this part of the money, but in order to supervise it, Congress will set up a new committee, and it will still be a permanent one!
This involves not only the power and influence on enterprises, but also affects more ordinary people!

That's a lot of power, like the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which, once passed, would necessarily become an additional standing committee.

Then whoever wins these rights for Congress will be the star of everyone in Congress. Mr. Truman means to hand over this work to Lynch and his people.

After thinking for a while, Lynch nodded, "I will let Langdon mention this, but before that, we still need to wait for a while..."

wait for what?
Of course, it is waiting for the second amendment proposal of the social security system reform bill. In this second amendment proposal, a part about enterprises' participation in the social security system reform will be added.

Then there's still a hearing, but it sure won't pass!

Because it lacks the role of Congress, this proposal will still be rejected, but!

But soon there will be a [-]rd Amendment Proposal, this time adding congressional oversight powers, and then everyone gets what they want and everything will be perfect!
This is the "procedural justice" of the Federation. To do anything, one must comply with one of the most basic principles——

1. Why do we do this.

2. What will happen if we don't.

3. The necessity to do so.

4. What will change after we do this.

In fact, this is not only the case in politics, it is the case in the judiciary, and it is the case in everything. There must be a gradual process, with a clear cause, process and result!
In many cases, the Federation behaves very enlightened, but sometimes, it behaves more rigid than the old antique.

Lynch agreed to Mr. Truman's idea, and this matter can work.

After talking about this matter, Mr. Truman talked about another matter.

"Do you know that the Socialist Party is going to set up a party committee?"

Lynch shook his head and replied, "I'm not very clear, is there anything they can't think of?"

What he said was very interesting, and Mr. Truman was stunned for a moment, and then he burst out laughing!

Because everyone knows how troublesome it is to establish a party committee. This is not a job that can be decided and operated by just sitting together with a few people.

It involves many aspects related to politics, interests, and society!

After laughing for a while, Mr. Truman explained, "The leaders of the Socialist Party talked to me about this issue before. They want to give full play to their advantages and roles, and they are no longer willing to just make a background board."

"And they're willing to side with us in pushing for social security reform."

"I promised him that if nothing happens, the Socialist Party will announce this soon, but I don't want them to..."

Mr. Truman frowned, he was not sure if his description was accurate, "...you know, sometimes weapons are in the hands of people who don't understand them, and it's not good for anyone!"

Sometimes people think politicians are a bunch of hypocritical liars, but sometimes politics itself is just that.

From ancient times to the present, no one person can achieve a result that satisfies any group of people. The greatest person can only make some people be the beneficiaries of the policy.

The world works in its own way, from the perspective of the people at the bottom, with a small group of beneficiaries occupying the high positions.

But that's the way the world works, and the benefit of this small group of people can stabilize the whole society while improving and strengthening the lives of the people at the bottom.

Judging from the current planning and future design of the Federation, there is no problem. People's living standards are constantly improving. From the minimum salary of 400 at the beginning to more than 50.00 now, the increase has exceeded [-]%.

And it took less than ten years to complete these!

But if the Socialist Party has too much power to speak, they may disrupt the established rules of the game and disrupt the future development trend in order to please the people.

Give them a little sweetness, but generally limit the development of the Socialist Party, which is what Mr. Truman means.

Lynch thought for a while, and then he roughly understood, "I will arrange it, but I can't do it alone."

He paused, "The governor of York State came to Bu Paine two days ago."

Mr. Truman nodded and said, "I know about it."

It is impossible for Mr. Truman, as the federal president, to be unaware of such a major event as the governor leaving the place where he was in power and coming to Bu Paine.

The security committee and the security department will tell him about it, and the governor of York State has no intention of concealing his itinerary. Mr. Truman knew it when he entered the train compartment.

He then looked at Lynch with some doubts. What he meant was to let Lynch arrange for his own people to enter the Socialist Party Committee through financial support and sponsorship.

But Lynch suddenly mentioned the governor, and he couldn't help but think about other places.

Lynch then said, "Maybe we can change to a more secure way and use the most common method to achieve the effect we want."

Overhead!

Lynch believes that the leader of the Socialist Party may not be a mediocre person, but he is definitely not a good one!

From Lynch's point of view, there have been at least two opportunities for the Socialist Party to grow rapidly in this decade, but the Socialist Party missed them all!
The first time was the early days of the Great Depression, the economic depression, the financial recession, which were certainly not caused by working-class problems.

But the working class is the most injured group of people. If the Socialist Party stands up at this time, even if they cannot save the Great Depression.

But at least, the Socialist Party can gain the support of more people in this process, and gradually complete the organizational structure!
The second chance is the economic recovery in the first two years. During the entire process of economic recovery, although most of the interests were held by the capitalists.

But life is also getting better for the working class.

The working class's understanding of the world is actually very narrow, just around the area where they live, not even beyond the urban area where they live!

So far, nearly 90.00% of the people in the federation are unable to name the seventeen states of the federation and their approximate locations on the federation map!
In such a closed environment, once the labor unions and the Socialist Party are mobilized, they can have a terrible influence on the bottom of society!
They don't pay attention to whether they are given by the capitalists. They only know that it is the workers' union that gives them the opportunity to work!

The two very good opportunities were given up by the workers' union and the Socialist Party, so Lynch decided that the people in the Socialist Party are not smart people.

It is impossible for a smart person to take one step and only look at one step. They can see things ten steps after they take one step.

Wouldn't it be better to let some people who can see a few more steps control the Socialist Party and make the current "veteran" stand aside?

Lynch's words were highly enforceable, and Mr. Truman was about to agree subconsciously, but just as he was about to nod, he suddenly gave up the idea for no reason.

He suddenly realized that once Lynch penetrated too deeply into the Socialist Party, Lynch would be equivalent to controlling the third largest party besides the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party!

If he is a person who has no ambitions, has a sense of identity with the current federal rules and regulations and the ruling class, and is willing to abide by and maintain this set of rules.

Then Mr. Truman would agree to his idea without hesitation.

But not Lynch!
He has ambitions and means, and what's even more frightening is that he obeys various rules on the surface, but when he needs to break through these rules, he will do so without hesitation!

He didn't even think about whether it was appropriate for him to do so, he would cross that line!
Who can control him when he has the money, the influence, the control of a party and enough voice in Congress?

"Let me think about it again. Letting the governor go to the Socialist Party will cause a lot of public opinion..."

He answered Lynch like this.
