You are right except I don't think that they can't manage the budget, it's just that they won't. These are very smart people and they know how to get re-elected and the best way is to funnel money to those who contribute to their campaigns as well as promise to fund us voter's pet causes.
It is probably very difficult to get elected by telling voters that they will have to do with less.
