"Ideologues believe if a policy is wrong it can't possibly work - even when it does. Pragmatist believe whatever works is right...most Americans are pragmatists".

I guess morals and values do not come into play in your world. Please advise, since you are the pragmatist, if something works "right now", but will have detrimental results next year, is it considered to be the right thing to do?
