Not good Oz, as long as men of good conscience sit on the side lines we will continue having the problems you describe.
It is the apathy of many in this country that has allowed us to fall into this precipice.
No one is going to come and hand you a government of good people, those irresponsible politicians are not going to defeat themselves.
You have to stand up and be counted. You have to stand on the principles of reducing government and its failings.
Complaining about it solves nothing. Find a Tea party Candidate you like and help him or her get elected to the senate in your state. A Congressman, a Governor, take affirmative action to advance what you believe in, be a part of the solution. At very least take ten minutes of your day and vote.
Otherwise you end up being the problem.
