When you're $17 trillion in debt and no one is even remotely serious about reducing the rate of its growth (let alone paying it off), it doesn't matter who wins.
The camel's nose got into the tent before most of us here were even born. We're not about to fix it now. The closest analog to government in the natural world is the cancerous tumor. Both of them can only ever grow, they never get smaller. They can only die, either by killing their host organism or being forcibly cut out of it.
