according to most of the histories I have read monarchs and dictators have not been well known for fiscal responsibility either so I am not sure if this is a democracy problem.

You can't logically conclude that it's not a democracy problem simply because you named a separate condition that implies lack of fiscal responsibility.

Where's the system that doesn't have this problem, I guess is my question.

yes, but if fiscal irresponsibility is present in democracies, monarchies, dictatorships, corporations of all sizes, and of course individuals, then on what basis would you claim that democracy has a unique problem with fiscal irresponsibility?
