This is it. “We spent so damn much money on this, we gotta see some NUMBERS on the dashboard!”

I wonder if Texas has better bankruptcy laws.

Joan Westenberg’s framing of this problem as “technical debt” I think is spot-on. Because congress (especially the Senate) has become unable to pass bills, and states are no longer able to amend the constitution, we have amassed a ton of technical debt in our laws, patched only by executive orders that can be easily swept away by the next executive.
