On the other hand, false over-optimism is what causes businesses to fail and consumers to go into crushing debt. You can't go into anything without a plan. You have to have real resources and real energy available. Creativity and initiative is great, but you have to put food on the table first. If the economic climate is making this latter task difficult enough as it is, of course people aren't gonna be creative and politically active.
