@spendius,
spendi, How ignorant are you? But, I repeat myself.
Humans are not perfect, and even the most skilled can make mistakes.
When you have a country where the government changes every few years, and the environment changes, they are apt to make mistakes. That's because when a crisis strikes, they will make decisions that are not always the correct ones, although they believe they are doing the right thing.
Take the Great Recession as an example. Most governments across the Americas, Europe, and Asia (the whole world) handled their economic crisis in different ways. That's because nobody really knows the best solution to solve this world economic problem.
What we will learn from the actions taken is whether the actions of our government was good or bad. However, it may not be very clear cut in that economics is not science, and there are too many variables to determine effects from actions taken. It's been determined by 2/3rds of economists that the stimulus plan was needed and was a good decision. I agree, simply because without a banking system, no economy can survive. I disagree with how that was handled (sloppy control), and other parts of the stimulus plan that helped wall street and big business more than main street.
No government has ever run their country perfectly. To expect such is to show how ignorant one is. That would include you.
