  Enough blame to go around and in the meantime you drink and die. Great. Government in action or inaction.
  Which is the real lesson: government is run by humans, humans screw up, and the more complex the system and challenge, the more likely and serious the screw-ups are.
  Not only are we encouraged to put the government in charge of everything we are blocked from holding it accountable for its mistakes if the mistakes are caused by people who mean well, or vote correctly, and forced to pay for them, unless we can prove we are helpless. I can’t figure out where that particular penumbra emanates from. Certainly not the Constitution.
  Humans are ultimately in charge of everything, regardless of whether or not the government is doing it.
