Where in it did they say we were fucked? I haven’t read it yet but I’m guessing that’s not in there. 1% higher taxes or whatever isn’t great but it’s more than worth it. Especially if you’re in a lower bracket and don’t see much or any of that anyway.
Edit: It doesn’t say anything about future costs from a skim of the paper, or even say the expenditure was too much. They mostly focus on how governments presented what they were doing, which in their opinion was skewed.
I find it weird that these academics wrote (with the text equivalent of a straight face) that politicians shouldn’t dissemble and spin things, when that’s basically their entire job, but whatever.
