“No they didn’t, the vast majority of the country will just go back now and resume watching American Idol.”
You are spot on. In fact I have talked to several people and the general response has been, “Oh well, what can you do?” Followed by a simple shrug of the shoulders.

It's not that people don't care but rather they feel powerless to do anything about it. Quite frankly, they have a point. Every law passed that infringes on our liberty and rights, is another law that has to be dealt with. Most people just feel overwhelmed at the shear amount of work and dedication it will take to fix this.
If you send (R) to represent us, you'll get Socialism-Lite rather the the (D) version of full Socialism. You still end up with Socialism, it's just how quick you want to get there. This is further fueled by a significant part of the electorate who wants the parties to get along, compromise and get things done. So you end up with a (D) proposal for 10 trillion dollars and the (R) says we'll go with 5 trillion. You still just spent 5 trillion more than you started with but my gosh we compromised and all got along and the (D) didn't get all they wanted.
Then factor in the fact that more and more people become addicted to various entitlements. It's similar to a drug addiction and we are creating more junkies every day. This is exactly what they want you to be, just another junkie needing your fix from Uncle Sam. It's all rigged to a degree because both parties want us dependent on them or have so many laws on the books that just being alive or dead is breaking a law, otherwise they have no power over us.
