Congress is not the problem here. American voters are.

Staggering debt and fiscal insolvency is a natural feature of any nation or state built on democratic governance.

Yes, indeed. The Founders wisely protected against that by having Senators chosen indirectly - not by the voters, but by the state legislatures.

The 17th Amendment removed that protection. So here we are.
