I think maybe it has something to do with the psychology of being able to "do something" about it or not. While all this protesting will probably do nothing in the long run, seeing as how it's legal and all. Whereas the ballooning of the federal budget, what can we do?
If you think the Republicans take the Senate this fall, do you think they'll actually take the necessary steps to reduce it? We'll need to not only cut spending, but raise taxes a lot too...and we all know how much the Repubs hate taxes.
