All of the fuckers are responsible, but guess what? Many of them are just doing what their constituents voted for. The tea party people were voted into office by those who wanted TP ideals. The Dems likewise. If you don't like the results you'll have to change government to get rid of checks & balances.
The problem is that at the next elections Democrats will vote for Democrats and Republicans will vote for Republicans and nothing will change. And both parties like it that way. It keeps them in power and the bottom line for any elected official is not what's good for you but reelection.
