Now you understand how I feel when I see the same politicians making economic policy. They do not understand more economics than they understand technology. (In fact, politics is about all they understand and, of course, given that they got where they got, they are the best at the game).
And no, economics isn't any simpler than technology; if anything, it's more complicated, because, unlike technology, we do not know 100% how it works. I've studied it for 10 years and still don't understand a lot of it; seeing politicians claiming that they will "create jobs", "protect industries", "empower the consumer", "makes me shudder. Those claims have the same validity of Billy Tauzin claiming he will "stop spam". |
