Wondering how powerful men can change important government programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid so willfully when they know in their hearts that it might, or will, negatively affect millions of citizens permanently, brought me to the following possible conclusions:
- They don't care.
- They are ideologically so sure it's right that the consequences don't matter.
- They are sure it won't affect them.
- They will be enriched personally.
- They have blind party loyalty.
- The exercise of their power feels good.
- They (powerful men) are basically more evil than good.
- Their power to be maintained must to exercised.
- They have willed themselves ignorant.
- They're immoral.
- They're amoral.
- They're stupid.
