In the US, government is elected by people. You can't blame a gvt for not doing what it hasn't been mandated to do.

Hilarious .. next you'll be saying the two party sink-hole the US electoral system gravitated into is representative of the population at large.

The people have never specifically asked for anything, because we're not a direct democracy and we don't have federal referenda. What does that matter?
