At the time everybody called BS on giving to the banks and trickle down economics.
Hindsight even proved it.
Problem is, politicians don't have the courage. Bankers tell them if the change the system, there'll be an economic crisis.
- grp 11y agoPoliticians just need to be electable, not courageous. Why we ask them more?
- Qwertious 11y agoHmm, that's an interesting question - if you're unable to be fired, do you still have a moral obligation to do your job? Well, I'd say yes.
- grp 11y agoI share your opinion and bankers abuse it. I'll look for the definition of moral obligation for politicians. Hoping that there is one.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoBut still - ceteris paribus, which politician will win? The one slightly more upstanding, or the one slightly more charismatic? There's a strong selection pressure in democracy that favors populism and short-sightedness.
