Talking about it is how you get elected. Doing something about it, used to be how you kept your job. Now days, it's who ever has the best sales pitch.
Imagine, telling your supporters you're going to secure the border, and don't. Telling them you're going to zero out the national debt, and don't. Telling them you're going to end the war, and don't. Telling them you're going to protect the 2A, and don't. Drain the swamp, cut government spending, bring back millions of jobs, etc etc etc. And don't do any of that.
But still get re elected.
I'm not sure what's happened to my Republican party. But it's looking exactly like the democrat party now days. Especially the part where GOP voters aren't holding their elected officials accountable for anything.
P.S. Trumps dream come true is going to be to totally eliminate the debt ceiling. He's already suspended it for 2 years. He and Pelosi LOVED that.
