There is plenty of blame to go around. Various members of congress from both parties, presidents since Carter, regulators and administrators at various government and quasi-government organizations, and a large number of private sector actors all deserve blame.

Yes, but lets keep the blame mostly in this century and let's have Republicans be the first to step up for a change.

OK, we are a banana republic

For now, I’m just going to quote myself:

So what we now have is non-functional government in the face of a major crisis, because Congress includes a quorum of crazies and nobody trusts the White House an inch.

As a friend said last night, we’ve become a banana republic with nukes.
