What happened to taking the long view in American politics?

George Zadigian argues that today's American politics is too shortsighted, lacking leaders willing to make tough, long-term decisions for the nation's future. He draws a parallel to the "greatest generation," highlighting their foresight and resilience. This critique underscores a growing concern about the impact of immediate gratification and short-term thinking on future generations. The absence of such long-term vision could leave future generations with a less prosperous and stable society.
