Large problems are often ignored because of their scale, leading to apathy among lawmakers. This behavior is compared to falling off the wagon in terms of drinking or dieting. By renaming the voting buttons to 'spend' and 'don't spend,' the aim is to make people uncomfortable and aware of the consequences of their actions concerning the increasing debt. Lawmakers have become apathetic, feeling that the issue is too large to tackle, leading to an attitude of indulgence and a mindset of profiting from the situation while being able to finance it due to the country's position as the world's reserve currency.
