A long time ago, I proposed that we should expect the impossible from our political leaders.
I now have an analogy. Imagine you have a health problem where you have no idea what it is or how to fix it. Despite the fact that you don't have the specific knowledge of how to do so, you expect the doctor to be able to figure out what it is and how to fix it. That's what she went to all the medical school for, and why she gets to be a doctor. It is perfectly reasonable to ask her to fix a medical problem you have no idea how to fix, and it is perfectly reasonable to ask her to do so in a way that minimizes the impact on your golf game because golf is one of your priorities in life.
Similarly, it should be considered perfectly reasonable to demand that our political leaders fix problems in a way that is consistent with our priorities, even if we, personally, can't figure out a way to do so ourselves.
