The average US citizen - see any number of diaries and discussions on dKos - doesn't understand what is going on.  Most US citizens don't even understand the Federal Reserve system ... which IMHO is the easiest part of the US FIRE complex to grasp.

The ignorance stems from them trying to talk about it from that "common sense" and "Appeal to Authority" stance we were talking about the other day?

But I really don't know.
