I also think you're sending mixed messages by saying politicians are paid to lead, but people don't want them to be truthful. Putting those two together means that people want to be led by leaders they don't trust. I can see that to a point, but it's not quite that black and white.

I believe that people want their leaders to tell the truth to a point and omit the parts that we don't want to hear.
We expect that fiscal things will increase and change over time. We don't want to be told it upfront. We want to be able to deny that it's coming, and want to complain about it when it does come. But the fact of life it is a truth that things will cost more in the future and funds need to be raised in order to pay for such things.
