if the government had to play by the same financial rules and obligations as we do there would be no problem because they would most certainly be deemed an unacceptable credit risk.

They would be cut off at the knees with the debt to income ratio.

I am an advocate of you spend what you can afford and that only. And if one cannot afford it they should be DENIED. Somehow, very many of us made to where we are today following those rules.
