When
designing
and
implementing
my
ideal
safety
net,
governments
will
thoughtfully
balance
needs
of
the
short
run
and
the
long
run.
Short
run
economic
and
political
imperatives
are
real
and
should
not
be
neglected,
but
they
often
lead
to
excessive
stimulus
spending,
preservation
of
firms
and
industries
that
should
be
wound
down,
and
so
on.
