Not implemented as intended due to compromises needed to pass them.
Not allowed to be given time to work out in the long run because of people being too quick to cry "failure!"
Not being funded enough for the plan to work as intended.
This country is conservative. I've said it before, but even the Democratic party in this country is conservative when placed on the geopolitical spectrum. It's like Angela Merkel's CDU, which is center-right, yet everyone in this country seems to think they are leftist. Real liberal policies don't happen here, they are always tempered with conservatism to the point of neutering them.
Well then I guess "real liberal policies" would never and have never worked anywhere, period --depending on your definition of liberal. You know, I thought our founding fathers were liberal, and this nation was founded on classical liberalism and their escape from Europe's fascism. But the people who call themselves liberal now want to bring back all the fascist euro policy. So I dont even know what is liberal anymore because the folks who current carry that banner are the furthest thing from it. Liberty and freedom. Thats liberal. Government control is fascist. Everything the modern liberal wants anymore is something the government has to force of others at gun point. Nothing liberal about that at all.
