Yay, I just LOVE when politics gets into science like that. It can't get any better.
/sarcasm

Damn, do politicians even think today or is it all about the rat race of money and power for them.

To paraphrase a political friend of mine 'I don't care about the truth, I care about the politics'.

That's why politicians would rather play to "the want" rather than "the needs" of the public...psychologically speaking anyway. That's how marketing works and politics is an integrated subbranch of it.
