Mixing Political Theory with Economic Theory has always been, well, a bad mix. The government should do what it takes to get re-elected as always they do. So, perception of doing the right thing is very important even if it is the wrong thing. Let someone else stick their neck out and say the right thing that doesnt get them elected. Nobody wants to hear NO. So they must say yes, and look like they are doing something positive. Try not to let any mud stick, so pass off the mud to the next player. Watch where you step. Of course if you ask what should a government be doing is completely different asnwer!
