Is USA government doing what we all have done to keep ourselves from going under?

When we took advantage of 0% interest credit card offers for 6 months before going to 13% rate didn't we use this opportunity to pay off credit balances at 0% while waiting to get the next 0% offer while we continued to charge stuff so we could maintain our contrived standard of living/ Didn't we do this as long as we could until our credit was totally degraded? Until we can't even get a 90 days same as cash at any store now? We did so bad we can't even go to a doctor without having the copay cash so we now have to go to the ER for care. So is this where the Federal Government is headed using its quick fixes, otherwise known as stimulus or "kicking the can down the road"? Is this being done to keep the wool pulled over our eyes until we finally are forced to accept our national credit rating as being no longer credit worthy? Just like it has happened to us in our personal affairs?

Just like in our personal financial lives where we are now facing the reality of losing our homes to forclosure because we ruined our own credit, is our government using the same practice that will result in our own nation being lost to the rest of the world?

Because there isn't a dime worth of difference between the two parties we are being forced to accept, are we destined to lose our nation as we knew it? Or is there something we can do to save our nation?
