Delusion
Hello, I’m Herman Cain. They think we are STUPID!
Delusion! That’s a very common problem in this world, and it’s been known to bring down gigantic companies—sometimes, even whole countries. Delusion! You know, there’s a big problem, but people pretend nothing’s wrong. We’ve seen delusion rear its head in recent days in Greece, where the coalition government refused to cut more civil service jobs as a condition of the new financing. After weeks of hesitating, the Greeks finally relented and did what they had to do: they cut 15,000 jobs. Delusion! For years, clear-minded people could see that Greece had overextended itself, but the Greek government kept spending money as if its fiscal structure was in no danger of collapsing, until it did. We’ve seen this in the United States, too. We saw it with General Motors. The numbers were plain as day for everyone to see, but for years General Motors didn’t change until the entire company found itself having a near-death experience. It’s easy to entertain delusion. It’s easy to keep doing what you’ve always done like there’s no problem, even when an honest look at the facts tells you danger lies ahead. U.S. taxpayers, we’re facing 15 trillion dollars in debt and 60 trillion dollars in unfunded entitlement costs. A delusional nation would keep doing what it’s always done: adding more debt and accepting more obligations as if nothing is wrong. A sober, responsible nation would make big changes, which is what’s required to fix a big problem. What will it be; delusion or reality? Reality, you get to choose in November.
I’m Herman Cain. We are NOT stupid.
