Politicians forced to learn statistics -> Politicians better prepared to understand consequences of their actions -> Politicians exploit economy better -> Everyone worse off -> Law to educate politicians is abolished -> Politicians exploit economy nevertheless
Seriously, the problem is not politicians being clueless about all the above, but having too much power which makes them think they need to solve everything.
This is the accurate scenario unfortunately.
I'd give you 100 upvotes if I could.
