Trying to say its all executives fault, or all congress' fault, or all one persons fault is ignorant.
I never made that claim. I simply stated facts - how you perceive those facts is not my problem. I am aware of history and how we have been put in situations where we had to spend outside of the planned budget many times. Part of Congress' job though is to specifically plan for these possible future expenditures, and to build a budget plan that includes deficit reduction. They have not even proposed a budget that could reconcile the federal deficit. To not hold them accountable for their job shows ignorance.
