The fact of the matter is that most modern politicians are more concerned with holding on to power than actually bettering the lives of their constituents. Stagnation is the end result when all anyone is focused on is their own political survival.

We're not in MAGA America. Only 1/3 of the population voted for the guy, and half of them have already realized they were wrong. We need a way forward that addresses improving people's lives and rebuilding health, safety and financial security based on the real issues, not the trans and immigrant boogymen.

I know the answer to this, unfortunately, and unfortunately there is no quick fix. This started with Reagan, and with the Chicago school of economics, and their idol Friedman, and their idea that lower taxes is always better, and that wealth redistribution is bad unless it is redistributed to billionaires. Which ultimately has caused the galloping of deficits, erosion of the social safety net, the dismantling of the working class and the lower middle class. Other first world countries used taxes to pay for the public good, education, infrastructure, health. At the cost of slightly slower entrepreneurship. USA chose a path of reckless tax cuts and deregulation, and consistently have chipped away at programs that would ensure a brighter future. The wealth growth has been phenomenal but every cycle of boom and bust only caused further income disparity and federal poverty. And the medicine being sold by the ruling elites is more if the poison that caused the problems. When lower taxes and not quality of life is the main driver, you will get lower taxes and less quality of life.
