Politics allows people to vote for the impossible, which may be one reason why politicians are often more popular than economists, who keep reminding people that there is no free lunch and that there are no 'solutions' but only trade-offs.

政治讓人們可以投票選擇不可能的事，這可能是政治家往往比經濟學家更受歡迎的一個原因。經濟學家總是提醒人們，世上沒有免費的午餐，也沒有所謂的「解決方案」，只有取捨而已。
