Everyone is so good at thinking what's best for them right now. Our country is based upon short term thinking. The only problem is that most issues are long term.
When you tackle issues long term you decrease the likelihood that they'll turn into problems. If you have preventive healthcare you're less likely to die of an undiagnosed heart attack for example.
Why are we a short term thinking nation? Instant gratification makes us feel better. Want to know how well short term thinking is working? Look at how well we're doing with credit cards, obesity, the economy and diplomacy and you'll get a feel for how well short term thinking works.
