It takes time to get it together enough to get candidates elected. It also takes time (and a good deal of money) to influence the votes of existing candidates. Obama is often cheered for his "help" given to the great loafing class (welfare, in all of its many forms), for allowing the federal income tax rates for the "working class" to remain, reduced to as little as half, what they were under Clinton (often ignored when he derides the "Bush" FIT policy) and he supports unionized labor (well above that of non-union labor). That is his right, yet you seem to ignore that right to any political opposition to these "fair" (actually, simply your prefered) policies.
That is where your arguments fail, since you refuse to see that doubling the federal deficit differs substantially from Obama's campaign promise to cut the federal deficit in half. Many of the republicants in the Senate, in the wee hours of this morning, voted for a "compromise" deal that had taxation increases to spending cuts expressed at about a 40 to 1 ratio. The Obamatrons see this as good for the nation, a huge "win" for Obama, and yet would never admit that they or Obama do not care one lick about creating an ever more massive federal deficit/debt, so long as they are assured that they will never personnally be called upon to repay it and, of course, continue to get all of their favorite "promised" federal benefits.
The federal gravy train is fast running out of money even for basic track maintanence. The annual interest on the national debt alone continues to move up the list of major federal gov't expenses/programs. Unlike Greece the US economy is too big to bail.
