Irony: Most of the people complaining about the nation's debt and deficit spending are deeply in debt themselves. We are the government and therefore the government is a reflection of us. How can we criticize government when we as a nation abuse credit cards and reverse mortgages?
Ronald Reagan did a great dis-service when he said "government can't solve the problem, government IS the problem." He was stating that the government is something other than us. But we are a democracy and our Constitution was founded on the principle of "We the People." The government is us. If we don't like what we see in D.C. then we need to change it. And we need to look in the mirror first.
