I should also point out that Mr. Reich's very point is that we do not live in a culture that values that kind of honesty from its leaders. We want politicians to tell us what we want to hear, not the truth. When politicians do try and tell the complete truth, such as in Mr. Reich's example, people get outraged and don't vote for them, instead voting for the person who promises big purple fluffies. Not that I can blame the person who promises those fluffies, because everyone and their uncle knows that being completely honest is death in politics.
