First the Bush administration and now Obama and his representatives, tell the American people that although the economic times are perilous, things should turn around in at most, several months and then the country and the World will be back on track for continued economic growth and prosperity. By putting out information like this, they do no service to anyone. The World economy is just beginning to unravel. There are no factors present which might stop or reverse this process. It will likely take several years, at least, to reach a bottom. History tells us there will be famine, plague, genocide and war in the meantime. At that point, we can begin to reorganize, rebuild and regain some measure of economic well being. This process is likely to take an extended period of time before anything like the previous levels of affluence in the developed World emerge, if they ever do.
The people deserve truth. They get lied to all the time. They hear lies about the reasons we go to war. About supposedly evil but non existent enemies, foreign and domestic. They are taught to put their faith and trust in a God that doesn't exist and in leaders who don't care about them.
I guess the real truth they are being taught is that it's every man for himself. That is the truth that's always been.
