Well David, I have never agreed with the workings of the Capitalist economic system especially the practice of "quantitative easing", so perhaps we have different perspectives here. The point I was making to "D" that although long term thinking and planning are important in the construction of political policies, they do not fit in well with the requirements of the capitalist economic system or democracy as we have come to understand it. What I refer to as the "good cop" "bad cop" political mentality requires quick changes in political policies, regardless of their affordability or effectiveness.
