Snyder tries to shift the blame for Flint…

Well…with the hearings going on in congress about the screwups that led to Flint residents being poisoned with lead…we see the typical repub response from our governor Snyder that it was the “bureaucrats” in his administration that were responsible for the crisis…of course not him, even though he knew a year before he acknowledged it that there were problems in Flint. But, the most sick thing was his trying to shift the blame to the EPA, basically saying that they should have known that Snyder’s administration was poisoning people in Flint and should have stopped them…imagine what that would mean for criminal defendants if this crap was allowed to excuse this behavior….a murder suspect could just say “hey, you guys didn’t stop me from murdering so it’s not my fault…it’s the fault of the bureaucrats in the police department….” And, as you know, these guys are so big on “personal responsibility” until it gets down to them…then, anyone and everyone is responsible but them…especially the government…the repubs on the committee again tried to have it both ways, too, saying that the EPA should regulate  more what states can do…when, just a week ago, they were complaining that the EPA is destroying the economy by too much regulation and the states should be able to do what they want without interference from the EPA. Typical repub behavior that killed people and put thousands at risk…but they never have any responsibility for it..even when they control the entire government of Michigan…what a bunch of liars…geez…
