>Perhaps so. But your original comment implied that politicians were doing what voters wanted, whereas now you're suggesting that politicians simply lied, or used Orwellian doublespeak, to do what the politicians wanted, which is practically the opposite of what the voters wanted. Voters often want things, but simultaneously don’t want to pay for them (i.e. increase taxes). See also federally subsidized student loans and federally subsidized mortgages.
