The political machine that handed out those subsidies also responded to the incentives set in front of them. The lobbyists and entrenched interests also were acting naturally in accordance to their incentives. By this logic, everyone can always pass the buck.

- sooheon 4y ago> The blame rests solely with the politicians This is scapegoating. Who put them in power? > The consumer simply saw cheap flights and did what they do best. The politicians saw lobbyist money and did what they do best. The lobbyists got paid to do what they do best. The special interest groups saw a gameable system and did what they do best. The consumers feed the industries that buy out the politicians. Everyone plays a part and everyone is partly to blame.
