Federal elected officials spend 70% of their time now fundraising, so they only listen to their donors. And their donors are billionaires and large institutions.
So there is no statistical correlation now between an issue's popularity and whether it gets passed into law (voters have been disenfranchised).
Meaning the next bailout will happen exactly the same as the last one, unless left-right coalitions and other organizations work to end corruption at the local grassroots level and work their way up to state and federal.
