Myths of Our Times
I'm trying to collect a list of common myths that drive our political and economic discussions. A myth is a proposition that is commonly believed to be true, but either has no basis in fact, or is a gross oversimplification of a complex topic. Examples might include "Our schools are failing," "Social Security is going broke," or "Cutting taxes creates jobs."
