There is currently no pressure for Congress or the President to cut spending. American voters, while not overly happy with the deficits and national debt, don't really care to do anything about them.
Representatives are applauded for bringing money back to their states while President's are applauded for providing new programs.
There need to be limits on spending and there should be no new taxes until the government is forced to clean house. Just because there was a reason for a program at one time it is not acceptable to allow programs to continue with no oversight as to their success or failure. The government simply passes the costs of its inefficiency on to the taxpayer.
