All of the above thoughts have merit but a short sighted voter could be worse than a non voter.
I think about taking a our year old to a bakeshop and asking what cookie he would like. You describe the different ones, oatmeal with fiber and protein from nuts, a Welsh miner with all the healthy ingredients, a buttery traditional shortbread, peanut butter etc.
He wants the one with red icing.
The economics of today are so harsh that the the truth for many is unpalatable. If a person in underwater with their mortgage and job and the marriage is about to explode they don't care if the sewers will need major work in two years instead of minor work now. Right now their credit card is maxed, they have to take money from their kid's piggy bank for food and hitch a ride to work because the car is out of gas.
It's taken a big part of a century to dig the debt hole we're in. The difference between digging post holes and debt holes is it's easier to dig debt holes than it is to fill them in.
