It's your fault. Voting for for the spend and no tax republicans.
One should reduce spending - before - reducing the income. Any rational >non-republican recognizes that. The "starve the beast" idiom is stupid
GOP thinking that obviously hasn't been effective.

I call them "spend and spend". As opposed to the "tax and spend"
Democrats fiscally-conservative Republicans used to attack.

The goal of the GOP since Ronnie has been to destroy Social Security.
The National Debt is their primary weapon.
They aren't going to reduce it -- they are going to use it to destroy
Social Security, and probably Medicare as well.
Because, after all, 1%-ers don't need those programs, so nobody else
does either.
The /real/ problem is that the Dems aren't going to reduce the
National Debt either. Even if they collect money to do so, they will
find something else to spend it on.
Both Parties need severe wedgies. Republicans more than Democrats, but
the Dems are by no means exempt.

Historically the Dems have reduced the national debt and balanced the
budget MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more than the Repubs. The Repubs don't even try
to do either.

To be sure, but that was in the past.
Clinton, our last fiscally-responisble President, left office with a /surplus/. His Republican successor found nothing better to do with it
but reduce taxes on rich people. At least /that/ tax cut was funded.
Unlike the one in 2017.
And, let's face it, "reduce the Debt" just isn't as /sexy/ politically
as "let's spend the money on [just about anything else]".
