exercise more financial responsibility

0Dear friends,02br

00(From the middle-class family perspective, 01font00much of this02font00 looks far less like 00an opportunity to00 01font00exercise more financial responsibility02font00, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. )02br
02br
00I think "much of this" refers to that "the government has made some changes which will affect middle class families".02br
02br
00But what does00 "much of this looks far less like01font00 02font00an opportunity to00 01font00exercise more financial responsibility" mean? And it is who that excercise more financial responsibility, the government or the middle class families?02font02br
02br
00Looking forward to your anwers. Thank you very much.0-

00Generally speaking, exercising more financial responsibility is a good thing for middle class families or a bad thing? I don't quite know what "exercising more financial responsibility" refer to.It seems to me that it is a bad thing because if the middle class families need to excercise more financial responsibility then they will have to pay more
