Again, pragmatism has to be a consideration here. There are lots of problems to fix, but there will be time in the future to address those other things (hopefully). Yanking the country from the precipice of a long recession is far more important right now.
Okay, so maybe don't promise these things in the first place then? I don't have an issue with pragmatism. I have an issue with essentially lying to voters. That's the type of stuff that contributes to voter apathy.
