System? Is that an euphemism for "voters"? Seems from your description that voters want money for police tanks, not school teachers. And then they end up having the day they voted for.

No I mean our electoral system. I'm not saying voters aren't at fault. They completely are.

But fear is a much more powerful motivator than hope or even the future. (Read: conservatives)

It's much easier to get people scared about some nameless boogyman who is going to invade your house than it is to get people excited about a future of rainbows and lollipops.
