Nobody looks to government to "fix all of life's problems". You're so intent on loading up your definition with facetiousness and hyperbole, you are just babbling.
At one point in US history, FDR tried to sell social security to the nation. It was a rather hard sell because at the time most thought they did not need it. However, today Americans think they would die in the streets without it, even though it is not really enough to even survive on.
This is just one example of many.
As for facetious hyperbole, those in Washington can shove it up their arse.
In other words, if those in Washington like their facetious hyperbole, they may keep it. 😵
