Quote:The bottom line is that the American public is being fed a carefully crafted mythology (no doubt "market tested" on "response groups" to see which images fly best) to mislead the American public into misunderstanding the nature of today's financial problem – to mislead it in such a way that today's policies will make sense and gain voter support.

A pox on their houses too...
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
