lost in complication

It's been said that those who are smart can take a complex subject matter and simplify it, and those who are not will take a simple subject matter and complicate it.

Take the current financial crisis; the average American is no doubt confused (as I am) about how the bailout will work, what the causes are, and so on. But at its root, it's a simple problem: people are buying stuff they can't afford.

Likewise, I always feel like people cover up their behavior with obscene complications to justify their actions.
