The schools of thought are so wide ranging, and there are no proven solutions because there are no labs to test economic theories. No methods for reducing variables. There seems to be only one thing they do agree on: something has to be done, but I think they could spend another 100 years arguing over what to do. And it's all way over my head, though I'm trying to learn to see the clouds and the sun.
