The buck stops nowhere

  You may have noticed that no one seems to take responsibility for their actions anymore.
  If you overspent in buying a house or running up your credit card, the government will bail you out, no matter what you spent that money on. 
  If you are in control of Congress now, you just blame everything on the previous administration, even though you were in the majority in Congress passing budgets for the last 4 years (or avoiding passing them, as in this year). 
  An added benefit of being a congressman or senator currently is that you can claim the previous president didn't spend enough on a stimulus but all the debt that has been accrued by your Congress and the previous president is his fault, and his alone. (So, wait. He put us into debt. But he didn't spend enough on "stimulus." Huh. Is that how stuff works?)
  If you want to pass a ridiculous 3000 page bill that will drastically affect the lives of every citizen, you just laugh when people ask if you read it or if it's Constitutional, because, you know, it'll all be somebody else's fault and who could possibly expect you to read it, anyway. Heck, you'd need a lawyer and an assistant for that. 
  Then again, if you're actually president, you use the same shovel ready excuses, with flourishes.
  If you work at GM, now, you just depend on the government for your paycheck, particularly now that your union has a seat at the table that actually controls how the company runs because, you know, only capitalists would let company engineers and executives run a business. Government runs the business now and the people who kept whining for more holidays and higher pay and days off and viagra and stuff like that.
  Which leads to this point. Things seem to have changed over at GM, yet again.
  Previously we read that the GM workers had to give up their Easter Mondays in the restructuring.   (Side note: how inconvenient for our Lord to rise again on a Sunday, whether in reality or in historical acknowledgment. Didn't He know we'd get the day off if He would have chosen a weekday?) 
  Now it appears the old perks are back. Read about it over at the NY Post:

When they build the irresponsibility Hall of Fame, there will be a special exhibit on the autoworkers who drove GM and Chrysler into insolvency. The UAW knew it was driving up wages and benefits to unsustainable levels, but it also knew that the Democratic Party had its back. Ordinary bankruptcy would have voided its contracts. Instead, GM endured an Obama-customized restructuring that punished its lenders and left the UAW almost untouched. The UAW did suffer the gross insult of its workers being forced to report to duty on the Monday after Easter — in 2011. In 2012, they go back to getting Easter Monday as a paid holiday. Post-restructuring, their pay and benefits are still around $50 an hour.
