If by “expectation” we mean what the public wants to see government deliver, I think AK is right that they are high. If by “expectation” we mean what the public believes government will actually deliver, then I think expectation are now unrelasitically *low*.

After a generation, will the gap between the two kinds of expectation remain so wide? Today we see furious derision directed at government promises, in the future I hpe to see eye-rolling and shrugs.
