Some people 'really get it'

I just saw this short article by Paul Craig Roberts. This guy really understands the economy and world situation.

I see a lot of otherwise intelligent people with their "heads in the sand" - what is wrong with looking clearly at what is likely to happen in the near future? Is this negativism? Is this pessimism? I don't think so: a clear unemotional view of the world can only benefit you and your families.
