What do you mean by "goldilocks economy", anyway?

Like the porridge preferred by Goldilocks: not too hot, not too cold but just right. The term was used back in the 90s in the popular press to describe the Greenspan economy, at least when we were not dealing with a bubble.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
