The Medium Run Is Always A Few Years Away

A big problem this administration has is the conflict between the realities of the current economy and their desire to be "fiscally responsible," whatever the hell that means. You can't tie the hands of future members of Congress. Yes given the various veto points in our legislative system you can, potentially, pass things which are hard to overturn, but ultimately as we see it's pretty easy for Republicans to ram through more free money for rich people.

Do the right thing for now, leave future worries to future administrations and Congresses.
