Agree. What about the part where the government spends 30%+ more than it takes in which has been its modus operandi for just the last 2 decades or so?

Yeah. They are going to have to do something about it eventually. The Republican party used to care, or at least claim to, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside. Clinton was the last president with anything even close to a balanced budget.
It really galls me to have to say that Clinton was the best president during my adult years, considering how much I dislike him.
Congress controls spending. People like to forget that because it annihilates their political arguments.
Clinton worked with a Republican Congress (House and Senate). Both compromised, negotiated, and achieved something difficult and substantial.
We don't elect adults anymore.
