This country needs to cut everything... But we won't.


Well it's not JUST this country.  It's really endemic to democracy.  Politicians buy votes, but not in the way most people think.

In general it's much more convient to spend future money to keep yourself in power then it is to be responsible with the money.

 

Whether it be Social Welfare, Military construction contracts, Stimulus spending or Emergency aid.
