The difference is, they can adopt that attitude with even greater confidence because a trillion dollars is even more unfathomable than tens or hundreds of million of dollars. Even for the better educated, it's hard to wrap your head around a trillion dollars. Besides that, they can always raise taxes or borrow endlessly to reload the pot. On top of that, they are virtually never held responsible for all their spending failures. It's everyone else's congress critter who is at fault.
