and politicians don't understand control theory.

Regulating an economy through monetary policy (interest rates - the usual
method) is far more problematic than most folks would ever imagine. It's
been likened to pulling a brick with an elastic band - and that's not a
bad analogy. It's incredibly difficult to get the rate set right in order
to produce long-term stability and the optimally desired 'goldilocks
economy'. That's why there's normally a panel of economic advisers
involved. It's too complex a decision for just one man.
