If the voting public was ready for a drastic change, Ron Paul would have drawn more than single digits in the Republican primaries. Americans don't want to hear the truth. Who wants to hear that we borrowed too much and have to restrict our lifestyle? Who wants to hear that there isn't enough money for social programs going forward? Who wants to know their house is worth half of what they paid for it? Americans don't want change because they were told deficits didn't matter and were told to party on during two wars. We lived in a pretend world. 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. So more hard times ahead?
