Blaming all but themselves.

The New York Times did it right. They sent writers to the Internal Revenue Service office in Cincinnati. To determine what went wrong. And just how it happened.  Yes, right to the scene of the fiasco. Congress, however, remained in Washington. And continues to hold hearings. At a distance. Rather than getting to the heart of the matter. The real causes.  An understaffed and underfunded bureau. A lack of management direction. Much of it the result of benign neglect by finger-pointing congressmen. Ready to blame everyone but themselves. –Jim Broede
