‘Get More – Pay Less’ may be an appealing slogan for a store like Target, but we should hold our political leaders to a higher standard than big box chains.

Elections are prime time for parties to promise voters more of the things they want. These promises are rarely accompanied by thorough accountings of costs, or where the money will come from.

This election, parties must be honest about the choice we face: pay for the services we want, or scale down these services to the level we’re willing to pay. Responsible platforms offer a vision for how to balance trade-offs, rather than pretending it’s reasonable for voters to expect more while paying less.
