Scapegoats are needed since there is so much blame to go around and so little understanding as to why we are in such a mess. In the 1920s and the 1930s. Europes financial system collapsed and inflation raged. It was commonplace to blame the Jews. Today. in America the blame is spread out: illegal immigrants. Muslims. big business. whether they got special deals from the government or not. price gouging oil companies. regardless of the circumstances. and labor unions. Ignorance of economics and denial of the political power system that prevails in the District of Columbia makes it possible for Congress to shift the blame.
