That's not to say our laws are not too complicated or that we don't have some clowns in Washington, but I don't think it is nearly as simple as the author claims.

In many ways it is applicable.
When these "representatives" spend far more money than the government receives, they put a burden on the future that will be difficult to overcome.
When they allow the banks to extend themselves to the point of insolvency and then toss billions of dollars to prevent a complete collapse of the banking system, they have not upheld their obligation to the American people.
You can argue forever of where and how to spend the dollars received, but the above two statements are irrefutable.
