Why is there still even a conversation about whose fault it is? As if there's any variation in policy among those in power. The sooner people realize the whole thing is our faulty government's collective fault and there is no solution within their manipulative lines of rhetoric, the better. But Americans aren't smart enough to come up with their own solutions beyond the non-solutions our politicians propose. That's why the Occupiers died off and the Tea Party is fading, they're thinking in terms of our current government.
We immediately seek a blame cushion for everything as if pinpointing them as the origin will solve the problem. It's all just the same old smoke-screen that's been used for decades. Play the blame game because there's nothing of substance there. Just knock the other side's positive public ratings down a little bit lower than your own and problem solved! You're still in office and have skirted the blame successfully. It's embarrassing really.
I agree it goes beyond politics.
