I hate to make this about my current anti-Trump beliefs, but I...


can't quite help myself.

What you just described is not the fault of govt per se. It is the fault of voters who "can't handle the truth". Donald Trump was rewarded, by virtue of rock star cheering at his campaign rallies, and his electoral victory, for spewing nonsense. For simply saying things out loud that any rational person should see as fantasy.

Whether its promises of border walls for free, or 4% GDP growth when nobody in his right mind thinks we can realistically get above 2%, or unrealistic promises about healthcare. we do not appear to have an electorate that is in touch with reality enough to support candidates who would reflect your concern.

In short, this is about an electorate getting the govt it deserves, and if you ask me, the Trump phenomenon is upping the ante on that.
