BLAME: No way to run country

Playing the Blame Game has never solved a problem, but I hear blame, a lot.

Placing blame is interesting, but it does not lead to a solution to a lasting problem. It stalls the problem solving techniques for years as it has with replacing the money borrowed from the Social Security System.

The guilty are those who were party to the loan and those who keep saying the SS will be broke some time in the future (all too near), but do nothing about it. That’s irresponsible, if not ignorant.

The guilty are those who have ignored this problem over the past 70 or so years. They refused to discuss the cause of the problem. The U.S. borrows from its people that are in default and for a long time. Insert the word “blame” and now see the problem is ignored again.

Those in our government who can force a solution appear to be to busy giving our money to foreign powers to take care of a domestic issue. The guilty are those senators and representatives who have ignored defining, stating and finding a solution to the problem.
