> I don’t have the months this would require, so I’ll just make the following guess

A very useful but very little known (hmmm....is that a coincidence?) secret about reality:

a) it is not possible to arrive at a True (JTB) conclusion on certain matters, and this is one of them.

b) Because of (a), all people opining on the matter are: speaking untruthfully (likely without awareness, in no small part because they do not know (a) ), and possibly also lying.

Ironically, arriving at a useful *and correct* stance is easy: utilize an approach we've had for ages: logical and epistemic soundness. The underlying causality of economic situations like this cannot be unravelled, so the conclusion is unknowable. This may seem not useful, but it is useful for *knowing* that literally every single politician (or anyone in a position of power) are *constantly* misleading the population, *even if they are genuinely well-meaning*. And if that fact is uninteresting to you, ask yourself this: why do you think that way?
