A failure of critical thinking skills at the national level or willful ignorance?

Both. People just believe what they want. When presented with new information they will adjust the new information or explain it away rather than change their belief system (and admit they were wrong). It takes courage to admit your were wrong, and most people don't have it. Politicians, especially.

Courageous or not, politicians are never rewarded for admitting mistakes.

There's always enough of the former to go around.

It's too bad that critical thinking and rationality aren't considered integral elements of preparing students to join the workforce.
