In a brave and smart article John Plender set the record straight: politicians have thrown caution to the wind by failing to find alternative to fiscal expansion /FT, 1 July 2020/.
May I put it bluntly: a lot of politicians in the developed world owe huge debts to their voters for not finding the right path to a sustainable future for the next generations. They regularly shied away from starting real structural reforms in order to improve the long-term sustainability of their economies.
They might know that and feel guilty. It might be the real reason for piling up unmanageable budget deficits and public debts.
