Thomas Sowell hat es auf den Punkt gebracht (gleich dreimal), und dabei kennt er Trittin gar nicht:
"The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy."
"The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics."
"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.""
