You are wrong.

Note that just a few years ago Clinton ran several years of surplus budgets and paid down some of the debt, without the trillions in cuts that Obama's austerity bullshit includes. It is possible, but it seems the last okay politicians from the 90's are now gone.

There is a confusion of purpose here.

The OTP is an encryption scheme, not a full protocol. A full protocol would also contain a message authentication system. Not that this
is easy or obvious - the very recent pgp/gpg flaw was due to an attack somewhat like what you suggest. The proper fix to that flaw was to add a message authentication step to the protocol.

As other poeple pointed out - several encryption scheme (e.g. some stream cyphers) - use (Message) XOR (pseudo-random pad) and have the same plaintext issue.

As an encryption scheme, the OTP is optimal.
