Using the Jewish people as the scapegoat, Hitler and his cronies orchestrated what they called “the big lie.” This theory states that no matter how big the lie is (or more precisely, because it’s so big), people will believe it if you repeat it enough. Everyone tells small lies, Hitler reasoned, but few have the guts to tell colossal lies. It appears that He was correct in that assessment of people, especially when their situations are dire. We have been spoon fed more big lies than Adolph could have imagined but it concerns a more diverse population than the one that existed  over 60 plus years ago. Once a lie is told it quickly become a pseudo truth as it grows in size and seems more believable due to the trauma of the  existing conditions (in our case, the economy). Our so called leaders have seen this bust coming for the past 10 or more years yet have done nothing in the hope that it will all work out. At the same time they have been busily pointing fingers at one another while accomplishing no more than a rush of hot air infused with half truths , no truths and untruths. We must remember that during this time the Legislators have drawn their same pay with increases along with the nice retirement and healthcare package. If the legend of Pinocchio were true there would be no room to stand in the Legislatures across the country.
