Isn’t taking money now and dealing with consequences later rather a stupid attitude to take?

Yes, but politicians tend not to think beyond the next election.

I’ve noticed that politicians these days are in constant campaign mode. With that mindset, they are always buying votes one way or another...how can they actually “govern” that way?

Of course we all know the answer to that one don’t we?
