This Prager article makes the very good point that it is not lack of realism that drives the opposition, it is a Leftist desire to redistribute rather than grow, while cutting the US down to global member-nation size:

I can readily agree with that but their rhetoric is seldom connected to reality. Obama and crew say such absurd things as that the “health care bill” will cut the deficit. It is as ridiculous as saying that leaving all doors and windows open will make it easier to heat your house in a blizzard.
They dare not tell the truth because they would never get to first base that way.
