There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting a sensible middle ground
or being slightly exasperated when things bounce from one extreme to another. There's always a goldilocks zone.

The great philosopher and poet Mr F Bulsara knew well the value of a comfortable middle-ground. As he once wrote, 'too much love will kill you - just as sure as none at all'. Given the nature of his death, you have to admit that he had a point.

well, yes.
But the idea of a goldilocks zone, while it works in basic quantum physics, isn't likely to in economics, because we are affected by what the world does as well as what our country does, and we only have any degree of control of the latter. It's a nice idea, but since a goldilocks zone is something that a universe reaches naturally (or more rather, must be in, because if it wasn't, that universe wouldn't exist) then surely it's a self-fullfiliing proficy? If there was one, we would be in it.
