We’re all familiar with the story of the boy who cried wolf, the cautionary tale about habitual lying. Since I’m sure all of us learned this lesson when we were children, I’m confused why so many Americans seem to have forgotten it when it comes to politicians and other government actors.

How can you tell when a politician is lying? Most of you probably answered something like, “their lips are moving!” What is the cost of this constant lying to the American people? People talk about the loss of trust in “American Institutions,” from the courts to the military, from Congress to the bureaucrats. Yet it seems few have bothered to count the cost of this constant dependence on lies. 

One of my more frequent sayings is, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. Fool me 10,000 times, and I’m probably an American voter!” The American people have been lied to so blatantly and for so long, yet there are those that still expect us to believe them. What disturbs me more than the expectation of belief, is how often the people fall for it. It seems like government actors are Lucy to Charlie Brown of the American people. Apparently, we never learn that they will yank the truth away from us every time.
