The Emperor Is Naked.

Just don't tell anybody.

Robert Reich, a liberal's liberal, actually spilled the beans in 2007. Compare this to what the politicians (of BOTH parties) are spouting.

The "student audience" mentioned in the article is a great analogy for the American public.

The student audience, which at first clapped enthusiastically as Reich started to tell his unspeakable “truths” stopped clapping by the end. Reich had uttered the fundamental heresy. You really can’t have something for nothing.

We must accept this fact. And we must hold politicians accountable when they insist that the "emperor looks great!".
