Can you point to an example where a politician has received unequivocal credit or blame for something he or she did 4-5 years ago? It often seems that the look-back period is only about two weeks. The enormous cost of Sarbanes-Oxley to US competitiveness doesn't seem to have adversely impacted the careers of Sarbanes, Oxley, or the numerous other legislators who voted to enact the regulation.
- Retric 18y agoThe funny things is polititions who try to take credit for truly inovative ideas get laughed at: "Creating the Internet." But, those who find creative ways to waste money in their district can gain long term support. Stranger still is the ability for politicians to take credit for bad / poorly implemented ideas that sound good: "No child left behind."
