The way it looks to me, is that many voters are doing what you suggest, voting for change. They aren't thinking much beyond, "Let's try something new."
Novelty is no way to make a decision about government.

Well, it is for "daycare". After the age of 6, kids are in school F/T and daycare costs go down, even if you have to pay for an hour or two of afterschool care. So I don't agree with extending the $1200.
And yeah, we are fiscally prosperous by any standard and we are leading the world in terms of creating a truly socially liberal society, but a big chunk of the people are voting for change "just because".
