Musing of one wondering how many literate people there were in the world when the Iliad and the Odyssey were written...

I guess we old folks tend to get confused, but I've been pondering what I think is the mother of all confusion.  News broadcasts and talk shows tell me that ObamaCare will save everyone a wad of cash or it will cost taxpayers a trillion dollars over the next 10 years.  I think you'll have to admit that would confuse anybody, no matter what that person's age.  In my view, it epitomizes the state of the nation-everyone is confused and no one knows what to do about it.  And so we go merrily down the road which may lead to eventual chaos.  Sic transit gloria mundi.  (Loosely translated-that's the way the cookie crumbles.) Maybe somebody can enlighten me.
