Fine. You want to know why it always seems to be the same 'clueless economists' churning out the same crap policy, resulting in crisis after crisis? Because politicians don't know jack about economics. They're a bunch of lawyers.
And you know why we have a bunch of economic dullards in power? Because the public (i.e. you), that keeps electing these idiots, can't even tell the difference between 'politics' and 'economics'. Nor can they tell the difference between 'share traders' and 'economists'. Go ahead and look at the top thread on this page.
And you know what? It's pretty clear you people (yes, you) are quite happy wallowing in your own ignorance, so that you can hold on to some smug sense of illusory superiority, while whining about 'how you could do so much better than these so called professionals'. Meanwhile, the few non-political and sensible economists left in government have been tearing their hair out for years because the public keeps electing a bunch of economically illiterate jackass politicians who refuse to see reason (truly a representative democracy).
So I hope you all enjoy the economic disaster that is now upon us, once again. You've earned it.
