That's just the consequence of various other policies that a lot of them probably voted for (or didn't vote against hard enough). If you transform a country a certain way, promising more and more from the government for some people, then everyone else has to pay more. If you pay for it with ZIRP, then you're going to need to pay it back.

The last thing you should do at that point is vote for more policies that will destroy economic activity in the name of "fairness". That's how you got here.
