For the very same reasons he keeps growing the police state, and supporting corporatization of our public schools, and pushing disastrous free trade agreements, and trying to cut the social safety net.
It's because corporate money floods our government and our media now, and both parties are aggressively carrying out the agenda of the one percent. It is a systemic problem of corporate money purchasing both parties, and until we are serious about removing corporate influence from our elections and the halls of government, we will continue to have this problem.
It is a problem that is threatening to end our country as we know it. it has nothing to do with individual politicians and their psychological idiosyncrasies or personal whims. It is a deadly serious SYSTEMIC problem of money driving policy, and we had better get serious about standing up together as Americans to demand an end to it....because change is not coming from inside this purchased system.
