Admitting stupidity is the third rail of the American psyche. In addition, I have found that stupid actions tend to be based on rigid ideology or fear, both of which are hard to overcome.
The problem is that the power elites will not recognize their stupidity, let alone confess to it. And the US is not exactly a country of the people, by the people, or for the people. That was an ideal posted by Lincoln, but not the reality then or now.
