I'm not proposing that they should do that, but no one ever brings up the "who cares" argument that works so well for every other area of spending. The deficit is $900B and not a single **** is given.

The point of the deficit is for the super rich to give themselves money and to pass on the perpetual interest to the taxpayer. The primary function of the US govt (and pretty much all govts) is to funnel wealth from the poor to the rich, so its really important to make sure debt spending only benefits the super rich. Corporate Democrats will fight to the death to keep things this way, they'll even torpedoe their own party if they have to.
