When fiscal policy is held hostage by the fear of losing votes, governance begins to drift away from its intended purpose of serving the collective good. Instead, it becomes a transactional exchange where policymakers are more concerned with maintaining power than with enacting necessary reforms. The national budget is no longer seen as a tool for the prudent management of public resources - the stored life of the people - but as a means to buy allegiance. A voting-shop aimed at exchanging worthless cash for worthless votes.

We are people who will trade our birthright for a bowl of soup. Integrity is compromised for convenience, and democracy is eroded by a system that values power over progress.
