here's the problem.. the cold war spending during Reagan made the military complex so much money that they developed a thirst for the cash.. Since Reagan, we never really cut military spending significantly.. and when joe public complains about military spending during peacetime, we have to go find a war to fight to justify the spending. or allow a 9/11 to happen..
meanwhile, the other guys, like the banks and pharma wanted to get their piece of the pie, so congress started making sure they were fed as well..
and of course we cant forget about the uneducated and poor who if things get bad enough will be the ones to revolt, so we keep handing out their govt cheese to keep them quiet..
all this is happening and the middle class is carrying the burden of both the poor and super rich.. paying for the poor while getting robbed from the super rich..
but the middle class have house payments and car payments and college tuition, so they have no time to protest or demand change, so everything remains status quo..
you guys should look at how much money congressman make these days and maybe you will understand that govt has become about making money, not serving the people..
