They know how to do it but theyre too cowardly to suffer the political repercussions because it's their CAREER.

I disagree, somewhat. I'm thinking in the same vein as you but more broad in a sense.

It's not about political repercussions. It's that the solutions will not benefit them in any way. Financially, ideologically, or politically.

Here's where we differ (and also how things have changed from 2 decades ago): you said repercussions. I put forward the idea that even if there were no repercussions unless they benefit they still won't do it. If it was a net-0 for them personally they won't do it.
