The path to their own personal prosperity is SO much easier than actually trying to serve the people. When you get right down to it look at who the major contributors to the candidate's campaign fund are and you will see who will be running the country for the next 4yrs. It's that simple.
I asked a question in a different thread about a plan to pay down the 16 trillion in debt we've accrued.

I asked another question in the same thread about paying for the federal governments financial promise to social security, medicare, and medicaid.

There is a "sort of" plan for the first, the second one is completely unfunded and there is no source for that kind of money. The baby boomers are entering that period of their lives when their medical costs really start to climb.
