Is this something that can be written in two paragraphs? I need two paragraphs but only have one and I am completely out of ideas for the second.

Question

Explain the idea that “Politicians would make more rational economic decisions if they weren’t running for reelection every few years.”

My first paragraph:
Politicians need to seek voter support every few years. Because of this, programs with short-term Benefits will be chosen. This leads to programs with long-term benefits being rejected. It’s not that the politicians don’t care about the benefits for the voters, they just chose to focus on short term benefits that will pull in the most votes and popularity. So this causes a disregard for long term benefits. This is happens more often when its politicians that have to constantly run for reelection. For them to get reelected to serve a second term, they usually tell the people what they want to hear.

Answer 1

Nevermind, maybe I can cut the paragraph in half and that will work.
