Reply #1: All the money, all the resources of the gov., the incompetence of many [View All]

elected officials and we cram for the exam/paper. I'm glad you posted this, I was saying something similar yesterday (not on DU).

It's absolute BS that this is the way the US has come to conducting business. Same here, I'm disgusted with the whole crowd.

And the rest of the world is supposed to have faith in the US? We have a failure in our system, elected officials and/or the voting electorate. Sadly it's some combination, but what I find very concerning is the collective ignorance of this population.

In the corporations I've worked in most of these guys would have been out on the street now looking for a job, fired for pure incompetence.

And this is in no way an Obama bash, I'm just looking at the entire episode collectively. What we are seeing IMO is the failure of the US to be able to conduct business.
