"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

It's not even about if THIS specific strategy would work in America, it's that China approached the problem in Good Faith, in an attempt to make a genuine improvement.
In America, about the best we could hope for would be passing a bill and a budget for an issue, and then it's considered fixed. No accountability, no objectives. And that's the best case scenario.
Worst case scenario is that the whole legislation is a scam to shift money from the Treasury to private pockets. It's a about 3:1 in favor of this strategy, no matter who is in office.
We don't do anything with a Good Faith commitment to solving a problem. It's always about self-aggrandizing, poking the other guy in the eye, or stealing as much money as possible.
