Who will be the first politician to tell us that the future is not rosey, 
that there is not some magic potion or a mythical god to save us?  None. 
The truth may set them free, free from being a politician.

Look at the current crop running for prez.  They all have some magic plan to 
save home owners and make all our houses appreciate 10% a year again.  Which 
one has said the problem is not all that easy.  Until middle class wages 
catch up with home prices they cannot appreciate, until financial 
institutions are regulated to control greed there will always be shady 
practices.  Simple.  Which politician has said that we need to invest in 
trains and conservation?  None, they all promise some magic new fuel or 
hybrid technology that will make it all right again.  Selling us a chicken 
in every pot gets them reelected, not telling people they screwed up and 
that their kids will not be able to drive SUVs to the 7-11 for a six pack.
