Congress and President: How Can This Be Called Representing The People and The Constitution?

Why don't they get it? We The People Want AND The Country NEEDS:

1. NO EARMARKS in any bill at least until one year after the economy recovers.
2. REDUCED GOVERNMENT SPENDING ... across the board so that income exceeds outgo for at least one year.
3. REDUCED TAXES to prime the economic pump where most jobs are created most effectively ... in small to medium size companies.

Why can't government do what all citizens are having to do right now ... reduce our budget/spending? Why do they care more about political agendas than our economic stability? Why don't they understand that they work for us and do not have a right OR responsibility to tell us what to do?

This is supposed to be a representative form of government. That means:

1. They have a constitutional responsibility/duty to find out what We The People want them to do then do that.
2. They have a constitutional responsibility/duty to ensure fair participation of all political parties represented by membership in the house and senate.
3. By way of #1 and #2 above, they are constitutionally prohibited from putting party, politics, agendas, etc ahead of either the will of the people, the welfare of our citizens or the best interests of our country.
4. By way of #1 and #2 above, they are constitutionally prohibited from locking minority parties out of fair and representative participation in the legislative process.
5. They're obliged to honor their oath of office by which they swear(!) to serve the people and the constitution. The constitution and people do not serve their desires, period!

The principles at the heart of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution aren't complicated and neither is their oath of office. So what's going on here?
