Laying the blame

I HAVE been reading a lot about who should be taking responsibility for digging us out of this economic catastrophe. Our choices seem to be between the private and public sectors, the TDs, the bankers and sundry others.

There is a simpler solution to hand. We live in a democracy where the right to vote is sacrosanct. But with rights come responsibilities.

I propose that those who were at the helm while the money flowed (where?), and those who put them there, bear the largest burden of responsibility for this financially.
