Reminder that in the USA the Republicans have had an intentional policy of introducing these sorts of issues into the system. They call it 'starve the beast' and the goal is to delegitimize government/undermine it's financial stability completely so that they can push their agendas.

For 40 years, half the government (the Republicans) have been trying to break things/damage things/induce huge debt loads/underfund programs so they can't succeed.

Look at what Republicans has done to governance/oversite Inspectors General offices this current term. They have removed their ability to be neutral observers/oversite. Republicans do not care about fighting any of the things you listed, and in fact have been encouraging them for 40 years hoping by making things worse they can finally win on their argument 'government doesn't work' leaving out 'because we've have actively worked to break it for 40 years'.
