10. Most Americans neither know, nor until this weekend cared, how Fanny & Freddy were funded.

When the issues become too complex for most people to grasp easily, we tend to take leaders we trust at their word. This allows plenty of untruths, distortions and outright lies to enter the public sphere.

If the facts are too complicated the lies win out.
