I'd almost have more respect for one of them if they said, "Guess what, we're totally f**ked right now and there's not much I can do about it." At least it would be honest.

Wise.
Broad entitlement reform and cutting back military spending are the only ways to really tame the beast. We can continue to fund the war for now and just withdraw troops from most of the other 158 countries we have them in, eh?
