711... Being one of those with 10+ years career in finance before flying airplanes, your response is the best I have read on this forum for a long time.
Spot on !!
The world of finance and economics is very complex, yet it is human nature to seek simple solutions to problems. This is what the media capitalizes on. Catering to the masses, they bundle complex issues into overly simplistic rhetoric - often injecting their own political views and beliefs. Personally, I do not trust much, that comes out of the media sausage machine.
Your view above is based on common sense, by asking good questions, which seems to be a rare quality these days..
