As I watch the Republicans and the Democrats going all out to pass blame for everything that is falling apart around them. Neither side wants to take credit for anything that is going wrong. Both are going back years looking for reasons to attribute the state of our economy and our nation to the other side.
Let's face it there is plenty of blame to go around for everyone.
They have all been there in one form or another, they have all contributed. They have all made mistakes, are making mistakes, will continue to make mistakes. They have all been more worried about dollars, reelection, power and influence than upholding the constitution as they have taken an oath to defend.
Greed in the corporate world has contributed. Greed and not enough accountability.
We the people are to blame too. We have wanted to much. We have wanted it to fast. We have not done our due diligence when we have elected our leaders and we continue to put folks back in office who have demonstrated that their priorities are not always in harmony with what we the people want.
Let's step up, realize we all have made mistakes, stop trying to find someplace to pass the buck, roll up our sleeves and get to work. At this point, assigning blame is going to solve the problem. Using the cover of blaming the other guy and continuing to do the same things, put the same folks in charge, and keep on doing what we have been doing will get us more of the same.
It doesn't really matter who broke it right now, we all need to fix it.
As I watch the name calling, the finger pointing and back stabbing going on with our political leaders, I can't help but ask myself, "Is this how Israel and Palestine started?"
All those years ago, did it start with a political disagreement, move on to name calling and back stabbing and then finally graduate to tanks, rockets, bullets and suicide bombs?
How long until democrats and republicans are doing the same?
