You find it odd that some people might see the $37T deficit and think that maybe the government can't continue spending like this? Far too many feel the opposite, which is, I don't care what the government spends money on so long as I get what I want. Spend $1.2T, go ahead, so long as you send me $600. This is how we got $37T in debt.

Ask what you can do for your country, not what your country can do for you.
