Predictably, republicans in Michigan have begun trying to find someone/anyone to blame for their utter ineptitude in response to the water crisis in Flint. They're trying to blame the Flint City Council (good luck with that--ninety percent of the journalists in Michigan covering the crisis have already refuted it--and the 10% who haven't are republican trolls). They're also attempting to blame the EPA, and while the EPA response was not perfect, the vast majority of the blame belongs to Gov. Snyder and his "team."
What interests me most about this is republicans all too familiar tactic of trying to deflect blame from their failed policies. They're all about personal accountability (especially with regard to America's social safety net) until it comes to themselves. Listen: if you preach and want limited government than fucking own it when your amateur hour worldview fails. And make no mistake, the republican failure in the Flint water crisis is a direct result of their limited government policies.
They wanted to save money and walk away, but it's not so simple when you poison children in the process.
