Upon the person's death it was found that he had been embezzling from his clients and was massively in debt.   

But until the suicide he had continued to live a life of wealth and privilege.   

So it is with the Federal government of the United States.   It has been embezzling (via taxes) from the American people for years, spending every cent it gets while simultaneously running up 33 trillion dollars in debt that they will have to pay.   

Unfortunately, there is no hope of the government committing suicide and relieving its clients (citizens) of inevitable bankruptcy.   

Why?   Because there is no threat of accountability or justice against the government as there was for the embezzling suicidal case.   Furthermore, the government is giddy with its power over the people it is destroying.
