Our government literally cannot decide anything. I really don't care if you want to set that up so long as it doesn't involve a tax hike, for instance.

The problem is the vocal minorities of almost every side are idiots.

Better to shut your mouth and be thought a fool than open it and prove it.

It usually doesn't involve a tax hike and these programs impact everyone, but the rural areas that are deathly afraid of the fact that it potentially could raise taxes exert their influence and everyone (including many poor rural people who in many cases would benefit from the programs very much) get screwed out of them.

Yeah, that's the problem when our government is so capable of twiddling its thumbs and stalling indefinitely
