Addicts?

A realization I made a shared with a friend today:

This NPR Planet Money Podcast is great:

 Their interviewees also argue for nationalization and explain why the government doesn’t want to.  It’s all variations of fear and denial. 

It’s starting to seem like the country is an addict and acting like addicts—unable to face reality, unable to tell the truth, unable to do what needs to be done, unable to comprehend what life would be like if they stopped living like addicts.
