Federal Government Shutdown

"A Reuters/Ipsos poll 
showed about one-quarter of
Americans would blame Republicans, 14 percent would blame Obama and 5 percent would blame Democrats in Congress, while 44 percent said everyone would be to blame."
_________

I am with the 44 percent. There is plenty of blame to go around to both the Republicans and Democrats.  

And of course ultimately it is our fault. We have to elect better more capable people.

If you own a company that is performing badly it is a good idea to change management.  Ditto a sports franchise.

Ditto a government.

I think we need to implement the anti incumbent party. Throw all the rascals out. And elect pragmatic people who know that politics is the art of compromise.
