Bureaucrats want power. They will do whatever they need to do to get it (e.g., agree, disagree, mock, applaud, etc.) Don't be fooled by politicians that tell you they will save you from yourselves. We are in this place here, now together. There are things we must do, together. Let's get on w/ it. Here is a quote from Bill Bonner's Daily Reckoning that speaks well to the situation:

If the pollsters told the major parties they could win the White House by
renouncing the Constitution, the Bible, and the Theory of
Evolution...they'd do it immediately.
