Because voters naturally want what is impossible. The answer is educate voters, but voters label efforts to educate them about such realities as rank partisanship and continue to vote for the same people who promise them high speed rail will be completed in 3 more years, ad infinitum. IMO of course.
- kwere 5y agounfortunately, any propose to educate or "responsibilize" voters in today climate can be seen as racist/bad, expecially if "progressives" turfs are at stake. Wrong?
- newbamboo 5y agoSimpler than that, fiscal responsibility should not be a partisan issue. A 100 billion dollar train from nowhere to nowhere means 100 billion taken away from efforts to address homelessness, fight childhood poverty, safeguard community health, improve fire management, address environmental concerns, etc.
