I think most people are looking for accountability more than anything… thus the “blue wave”… not because Democrats have been good with accountability in the past, but because it is the best hope for the situation we’re in right now. I’m pretty sure that even many Republicans crossed the political divide and voted on that point. It isn’t just about affordability, and it isn’t about policy really. It’s about saving democracy and the rule of law. Without accountability, affordability will be a mute issue due to unprecedented levels of corruption. So yeah, while the corruption or “gravy train” is not sustainable, I think it is more about stopping the bleeding at this point in time. It’s more like a medical emergency rather than just policy or philosophical differences. So if there is no accountability at this point in time, it’s doubtful that the merry-go-round will even continue to go round. Democracy will likely be lost.
