Great example of a golden rule of media commentary; all economic news is bad news.

Low unemployment? That's a labour shortage.

High GDP growth? The economy is overheating.

High rates of foreign investment? We are losing control of our economy.

Country experiencing historic levels of prosperity? Wealth is making everyone lazy, fat and unproductive.

Should I call it Parson's law?
