I have a motto to add even though I know it is to late. "POWER CORRUPTS,ABOSULTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY"
As someone who came of age in the 70s, my slogan is (and I've said this to re-assure some younger family members who are job hunting) "We survived Carter; we'll survive this."
I know I'm too late for official entries, but in light of the armchair analysis about the differences between Freakonomics blog-readers and Takeaway listeners, which mentality is this? "Free market reality. Get over it."
My motto is
"Less is More - More is Less"

I mean that when I and friends were much younger, we were filled with frustrated angry thoughts about the economy -"this is too abstract" "it doesn't mean anything" "how can this economy continue like this?" and of course most of us were completely without health care for most of our 20s, so finally people are taking up that cause? What took so long? Why was no one listening when we were 22? The 22 year-olds were right!
"Enough already! Time to start over!"

As we enter income tax season, the government's motto should be:
