1) People expected that he or any prez from either party was really going to make “change” for the better
and
2) People that still think a lopsided government in which one party controls the executive,legislative branch (and by default controls the judicial), will actually be good for the country.
If folks haven’t learned by now, it’s that
a) politicians are terrible at making financial decisions
b) politicians are always are masters to their self-interest groups…
c) The only prayer we have is that if politicians can’t agree on how to waste money, so effectively nothing gets done (except for the very important things such as declaring war, or responding to a natural disaster)….Don’t even bother asking your politician(s) to “save” money. HA HA…If someone had the power to effective billions of dollars belonging to other people it’s easy to spend money when it’s not yours.
Just vote to balance government, even if that means crossing party lines
