Yes, and there's a more general form of it too. Maybe it's psychologically adaptive to believe that you didn't get totally fucked, because regret can be so costly (emotionally, and maybe economically, if it makes people too risk-averse in future decisions).

Those government economists seem like fine pieces of psychoceramics (the study of crackpottery).

While I agree with your message, I'm not sure I agree with these statements literally:

"Reconstruction after a disaster is not good for the economy. Wars and disasters do not generate jobs."
