- We know there is divergent economic opinion on such policies, but also that this action is more drastic than others
- We know that it's impossible to separate economic factors as we can with lab experiments.
I think that this *is* the experiment and we can see the result of it in a little while. Whether or not it's an irresponsibly risky step will come out. I find it odd that TimG cites economic orthodoxy but then says we can't know the impacts of this change. It seems like a convenient call to authority.
Impacts on unemployment rates should be a litmus test in the short term, no ?
