The D's and R's have simply been bickering over who gets to choose how your money is spent. Screw them both - vote Libertarian
I will agree to screwing the Dems, the party is rooted in a statist philosophy. The Republicans, while surely straying off course, are not a lost cause. At the root Republicans are libertarians. This is the party that freed the slaves and gave women the right to vote, it has in the past and still does holds as core value economic and personal freedom. Admittedly there are many Republicans for whom this does not hold true, and they need to be pushed back. Libertarians should join the Republican party in hopes of turning it around rather than abandoning it as a lost cause.
