Is there a point where ambitious promises - like healthcare for all (including non and not-yet-citizens) are actually so irrationally ambitious that the act of making the promise becomes cruel?

Is it even appropriate of me to ask this question?

Yes, I'm alluding to the Most. Cringeworthy. Episode of The Office S6E12 "Michael Scott's Tots" - where we see a rarely seen side of what happens when OverPromise meets UnderDelivered.

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this (before you flag me)!
