you have the same problem as most people.... you refer to the money as "their money". its YOUR MONEY and YOU let them squander it.
any legitimately elected government is only as good as the peoples interest in it and the peoples desire to hold them accountable.
they are basically like little kids whose parents are alcoholics and rarely around. of course, they act like idiots. why wouldn't they? of course they don't manage money well... who is teaching them to do it well? who is demanding they be responsible. who is creating consequences for bad spending? when they want money, all they need to do is to dip into your pockets and take more because you and all the collective "parents" grumble a bit and hand it right over and perpetuate the cycle that is the direct result of shitty parenting, not "bad kids"
