Ezra Klein's latest piece is instructive for a number of reasons. He is saying that the bulk of ordinary Americans can't handle adult policy conversations grounded in fact-based reality. The widespread, deeply divorced from reality and incorrect economic "wisdom" that many Americans embrace (particularly Fox News viewers with their well-known hatred for fact-based reality) asserts that government should work to reduce debt during times of economic crisis. Americans believe such utter nonsense despite evidence to the contrary. Once the incorrect view becomes the popular view, a great many elected officials stop trying to fix the narrative and simply go along for the sake of job approval, and Barack Obama is sadly no exception. He just stopped trying to tell the children that they can't have candy for dinner. Your appalling stupidity and ignorance make me physically sick to my stomach America. I would say that you should be ashamed of yourselves, but you'll just tune me out. Return to your American Idol. Brain-dead trailer trash...
