Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur... goes a Latin proverb.

"The world wants to be deceived".

Few headlines take note of two shady-but-significant contributors to GDP - government and defense spending. Likewise, few remember to mention that consumer spending -
which accounts for 70% of all U.S. economic activity - only
grows as high as the tide of the greatest credit flood in
history can lift it.
