Enigin Distributors Beware of Political Words V
Enigin Distributors come face to face with political debate because they are in the energy saving business
Energy efficiency and saving is an important topic and most governments, and their opposition, take seriously and get involved in promoting. Whether it is offering incentives or just shouting about it - what politicians say will impact to a greater and lesser degree on an Enigin Distributors business.
One thing to bear in mind is that Politicians often bend the truth, or rather withhold certain facts or plans. So here we bring you the second part of our series of the top ten lies Politicians tell….
We Feel your Pain
Who Tells It: Both sides of the divide.
Politicians at the national level, are so far removed from poverty, or even from the middle-class, that it’s impossible for them to have any idea what it is actually like to try to survive in the current economic climate.
Many politicians are millionaries and multi-millionaires, with many coming from families with inherited wealth. They are all highly paid, and lifetime job security as advisers, lobbyists, industry consultants etc. The idea that anyone in this position can “feel the pain” is sickeningly absurd.
Supply Side Economics Really Work
Who Tells It: Right leaning politicians.
It’s been decades since George H.W. Bush gave Supply Side Economics the “Voodoo” sobriquet, and yet there are still politicians (right wing mostly) who insist that this crack-brained idea is valid, even though there is not a single shred of evidence that this is the case.
Why the persistent denial of reality? It’s a classic case of wanting to have your cake and eat it, too, combined with a willingness to belief any old thing that makes you feel good.
It’s probably not a coincidence that the most vocal proponents of this particular brand of economic snake oil also hold other absurd beliefs contrary to history and observable reality.
Show me a tried and true supply sider, and I’ll show you somebody who believes that global warming is fictional, and that U.S. President Obama was born on the planet Mars.
