Because politics is about short term social media hype and not lasting change. Everybody who has ever studied the budget know that social services, debt payment and the military are the budget. Trying to effect any change with a major overall of these, or massive now broad taxes will not solve the problem.

And politically the right can't increase taxes and the can't serously reform social services either. But likely it would lead to that eventially.

So its literally just two parties fighting over trivial social media wins while debt pill and yearly debt upkeeep spending grows.
