PS - Even if some politician DOES produce ACTUAL plans for improvement during an election campaign, you have to remember that, once elected, the primary task of any politician is to get re-elected and if the plans that they presented for improvement during the election campaign appear to be potentially likely to possibly have a theoretical chance of reducing the politician's chance of getting re-elected, then those plans go into the dumpster so fast that it makes your head spin.
