Isn't apparent that nearly all have given up on reining in spending? Only that I can think of off the top of my head that still stand up are Amash and Paul.

It's like executives and investors raiding a failing company - accelerating it into the ground/bankruptcy.

They get in, pay themselves handsomely until the parachute turns double platinum, then pull the ripcord whenever the gig is up.

Some are lucky enough to get re-elected no matter what they spend or how they perform. Their riches have no bounds as they need no parachute. They have a constituency that would never pull the lever for anyone else.

We're a country where the uneducated and educated alike now favor voting for Santa Claus. Who's giving away the most free stuff.

The politicians just don't have any guts. They don't want to cause any pain to anyone, because it might affect their chances of reelection.

Trump's the same way. Spend, spend, spend.
