You've made some really great points in all your comments thus far that I 100% agree with, especially with current politicians losing all economic sense. Even the once budget stubborn Republicans signed away. I have no citations, but my theory about this is that the American society as a whole is foaming at the mouth for instant gratification. It feels as though we're thinking of the weekend instead of years ahead... That, combined with a high percentage of economically uneducated politicians that seem more like social media influencers than actual lawmakers = not well thought out economic decisions.
