@ Mafoo - Yes, it is completely fair to blame the government for something that happened on a temporary basis over 60 years ago for a modern day phenomenon.  That's completely logical.  Don't blame all the people who beat the anti-government war drum every time the government tried to fix the system from being so backwards. And don't blame the people who manipulate the tax code.

It sounds like you are encouraging the government to take away the tax break on healthcare (i.e. regulate this practice) while just the other day you threw a hissy fit about the government regulating the banking industry.  You really don't come off as credible when you blame the government for every single thing that happens.  You would probably blame the government if one of your pets ran away.

When something goes wrong in the US, I blame whoever caused it. *1

Usually, that's whomever is in power. Today, all the power lies in the Federal Government. *2

If we lived in a world where corporations were more powerful then government, I would blame them for the problems.*3 If we lived in a world with states rights, I would blame the states.

If we lived in the world I want to live in,*4   I would blame the people.

The world will always have problems, and those problems are the result of the people with the most influence screwing up.

If the government wants to be my mother and father with respect to there power, then they get all the credit when things go well (civil rights), and the blame when things go bad (everything after civil rights).

1 BULLSHIT!  Show me where you blamed Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 for our ELEVEN TRILLION Dollar DEBT!

2 Push the blame on someone who has been in office for only SIX MONTHS?!?  Just shows your sense of "Fair Play".

3 They are and you should, unfortunately you're too busy defending them.

4 Fortunately we don't, that place is called HELL!

You sound like someone who was born on second but believes he hit a double.
