Who do you think appoints the people who run fed Fed?
If you're looking to cast blame on bad policies, then blame those ultimately responsible: the politicians and the voters who put them there.
Ideally, the United States would have a mechanism that would allow voters to choose politicians with the best policies. What we have instead is a system where voters have to chose between the least worst of two possible options. Both parties are beholden to the top 1%, but the are not equally so.
What I find amazing is the lengths people will go to to blame government bureaucrats while reelecting the people who appointed them in the first place.
- mywittyname 6y ago> reelecting the people who appointed them in the first place. Everyone loves their Congresspeople. It's the other 433 who are screwing everything up.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI'm pretty sure everyone hates their congresspeople, if they are of the opposing party.
- tt433 6y agoNot really, ticket splitting is a thing for many americans -- it's decreasing though
- tastyfreeze 6y ago> What we have instead is a system where voters have to chose between the least worst of two possible options. Its worse than that. We have a system where people vote for their team color regardless of changes to the team's positions. 2020 seemed to be a year that more people realized that the party they had been faithful to no longer represented them. The number of "why I'm leaving (republican|democrat) party" posts and videos last year was something I had never seen before. I'm hoping this is a trend that continues. Red or Blue, they don't work for you.
