Default Government Debt - what can I do?

I just read Jeffrey's news article that shows that every person in the US owes $145,000. My question is there anything we can do to make the government more responsible with its spending?

Write your elected officials. Volunteer.

That's about it.

One thing to note, some of this debt is treasury bills and bonds. So if you buy them, the gov't owes you money and you're part of the debt.
