Only in the short term. History will show us just what "short term" means.
Ah true, but,
I can never run across a comment like this without
thinking of George Maynard Keynes statement,
"In the long run we are all dead."
The context is worth knowing:
"Now 'in the long run' this [ snip, almost anything will do] is
probably true.... But this **long run** is a misleading guide to
current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set
themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they
can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat
again."
