The basic problem here is that too many people don't understand the seriousness of the situation.
Americans fail to understand that they are facing the real prospect of a decade of little or no economic growth ...
Steve, if I may call you Steve, there's something you need to understand:

"The Savages Just Don't Understand"
I can't tell you how many times I've seen this line in the last week or so. Condescend, much, Mr. Pearlstein? I think we understand all too well.
But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
