Politicians have always created our country's problems then campaign to fix those problems they created. Plus not one bill proposed by the House had a singular item, but many items to keep their pockets full. They refused to identify anything that was one step beyond what they proposed.
Prohibition seemed great at the time, but it created massive funds for the Mafia (and the Kennedy clan). War on Drugs made a financial windfall for the CIA. The list is long and detailed. Winning an election for most politicians means first and foremost a path to wealth. Many came into their office well off and became millionaires in a short amount of time and do not want to relinquish that position.
