WASHINGTON—After nearly four months of frank, honest, and open dialogue about the failing economy, a weary U.S. populace announced this week that it is once again ready to be lied to about the current state of the financial system.Tired of hearing the grim truth about their economic future, Americans demanded that the bald-faced lies resume immediately, particularly whenever politicians feel the need to divulge another terrifying problem with Wall Street, the housing market, or any one of a hundred other ticking time bombs everyone was better off not knowing about............."

Experts warn it could get worse". It's like living in a tale by Franz Kafka where absurdity becomes the rule. What people believe? They are usually much more interested in the latest gossip or simply believe there's nothing they can do about it so it's better to stick the head in the sand.
