because the public doesn't know what is in its interest, so anything republican says to change, the money interest will say it is bad for public, and will show a reason why.  the situation is too complicated for public to understand, so the only pathway available to politicians is stuff that is bad for the middle class american.  they will come up with a plan and it will be crap. that's the only moves available to them without some massive campaign to educate the public and push through some radical idea.
