Shifting the Blame

It is incredible to see both major political parties trying harder to evade responsibility and shunt the blame to the other side rather than solve the nation's debt problem. In a country on a path to catastrophe, gaining political points has become more important than the welfare of the United States (and her citizenry). "What can I do to earn your vote?" has been transformed by today's political class into "look at what a louse my opponent is." In a previous age, America had real statesmen who took their responsibility to govern seriously.
