For some rabid liberals, a lobotomy might be the only viable option.

Yes it is. What else would one call a mindset that simply refused to see reality, simply refused to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and instead kept insisting that if they just gave the accountants the right number of "tweaks" to use, they would come up with the legislative equivalent of the perpetual motion machine - a bill that reduces the deficit by upping federal spending. I suppose we could call it a disease instead of an illness, but that just seems to me to be rhetorical window dressing.

See the following:

“Professor Mises searches for the roots and consequences of the common anti-capitalist bias. What makes so many people unhappy in the private property order? It is precisely the fact that it grants to everyone the opportunity to secure maximum income and obtain the most desirable position. In such a system, the failures need a scapegoat. People whose ambitions have not been fully satisfied and whose dreams are not fully realized blame the system. Frustrated intellectuals, writers, and literati become vocal foes of the system.”
This classic book by Mises can be downloaded for free. See the PDF link above.

Liberalism is petulant narcissism with a touch of guilt and self-loathing, blaming it all on the responsible adults who surround them.
