You make a number of valid points, but as I realized some years ago as I studied what was really happening in the economy, the problem is much wider than just the government - the economy itself has some major problems, which are causing businesses and individuals alike to scramble to stay afloat. These problems are solvable, but it takes a currently unusual philosophy to do it. The government IS making it hard for people to get out, they like to control people. If they can't do it physically, they will do it financially. They are taking advantage of the situation, not helping it. It may be intentional. As Mitt Romney told the MD's, almost half of the voters are getting their incomes from the government today. That is a hard block to overcome, people won't vote against THEIR source of income.
