It might be wise to stop hyping how wonderful the economy is for working people who know one thing better than any so-called expert: the economic strain they and their families feel each day.

    There is an old Hungarian satirical movie that had this great quote:

    Are you hung up on these things, comrade Pelikán? What you see with your blind eyes, what you hear with your deaf ears, what you think with your dull mind? Do you think any of these can measure up to the truth of our great goals?

    It was a 1984-esque parody of the authoritarian socialist system, and somehow it’s still apt. The more things change the more they stay the same I guess.
