I wonder if it is even possible to get elected without funding voter's pet projects and campaign contributor's pet causes. You probably can't get elected by telling people that you will have to raise their taxes and/or that they will have to cut back.

The big issue is people refuse to cut the stupid pet projects because it looks bad no matter how craptastic the program is.
So we keep the same entitlement programs and then add new pet ones.
We don't need to raise taxes, we don't need to cut back our own budgets, we need to spend less as a government. We need to quit buying votes with other peoples money, we need to state that the government is not a nanny state and if you don't work, plan, and save you are going to starve or hope for private charity.
The republicans were put in place in 1994 to start doing that, and they blew it. Now there really isn't a choice beyond whos new pet projects you like the best.
