It's not much, but it is a start. As someone once said, "if not us - who, if not now - when?"
If the government was trying to do with less I would maybe agree with you, but the opposite is true. I know you mean well, but the government could cut billions in expected expenditures and I don't think people should give up their money before the government gives up theirs.
