What do you mean by this?

- ceejayoz 3y agoIt's not my claim, but I'll take a stab at it. The increasingly accessible and increasingly rapid outrage/feedback loop brought to us by 24/7 cable news, social media, etc. has made it harder to push forward on meaningful complicated legislation. Something like the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Social Security, or interstate highways would, I suspect, be strangled in the crib today by vested interests spreading misinformation about them.
- bradleyjg 3y agoNo one in power is trying to design and put in place comprehensive plans to solve any particular problem. It’s all isolated one-offs, mostly involving dumping money instead of regulation, intended to improve a politician’s or party’s political standing. The ACA and Dodd-Frank, whatever you think of them, were the last counter examples. That was more than a dozen years ago.
