We forget this was once a very optimistic country -- at least for my parents.
Repressed and extremely horny, but still optimistic...
Heavy (post Bretton Woods, post '74 embargo, "peak oil") disenchantment begins...

So the question is: will the stupid, fake growth lie work again? And what will it sound like?
