It’s amusing: One of the hallmarks of recognizing a con is that someone seems to be offering you something for almost nothing–a deal that “seems too good to be true.” And most adults with IQ over 100 know that the deal being offered is a scam, to be avoided like the plague.

Now consider the “stimulus package:” It does seem to be free money, and yet the MSM and virtually all our “leaders” are on-board with it, with virtually no one screaming that the damn thing is a scam.

What can you say about a society in which a majority of the people are so poorly educated (or perhaps just dumb) that they fail to recognize that there’s no such thing as a free lunch?

Equally interesting, what are the prospects for the survival of a society both populated and governed by such idiots?
