Since writing the above post I have come across a very well written and well informed blog by a Hungarian living in the United States (see here). ... I think the following extract sums up what it has all been about: ... They don't want to change. They don't want to accept the new rules of a new game. They want to be taken care of by the state. They believe that the state will find the way to support them, provide them with free university education and with absolutely free medical services (not counting the envelopes, of course, but they are accustomed to that). Where will the money come from? They don't rightly care. ..........it is obvious that the "re-education" of the Hungarian people has failed miserably.

I'll reserve for him a cold cell. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
Hope she doesn't get sick and have to deal with the US health care system of which she seems so enamored. I know first-hand how that goes, and she's simply clueless if she has an inkling of how things work and still hold's this position.
And you can't re-educate the clueless. You simply give them the non-cadre jobs, like washing windows of the party cadres. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
