Why Do Politicians Always Agree on Big Issues — But Never on the Small Ones?

Politicians act like kids who agree on the big toys but fight over the little ones. When they're talking about big things, like war or money for the country, they all want to look good in front of everyone, so they say yes. But when it comes down to small stuff, like how much money each person gets, that’s where the fighting happens because they’re trying to get what's best for their group.
