But blinded by ideology we get no compromise or awareness of reality The ideology of prosperity through consumption and borrowing is probably one of the mostly widely held ideas in America, regardless of its actual merits. If the voting public was ready for a drastic change, Ron Paul would have drawn more than single digits in the Republican primaries. Our borrow and spend binge was a collective effort on just about every level of society from the fat cats on Wall Street robbing us blind to the poor immigrants taking out exotic mortgages for overpriced houses to "live the dream". Those who want to change that mindset have totally failed to build a political consensus behind it so far. They have a long way to go, and starting from a point where people are feeling hurt and deprived will be that much harder, whether they should want the old "dream" again or not.
