Rain dance economics

A few months ago, Caroline Spelman, the Environment minister, announced a hose pipe ban because of the drought.

It started raining a few days later. It has kept on raining heavily in almost every county across England every week since.

Perhaps we need to put her in charge of the economy?

I reckon it'd have more chance of producing growth than the Treasury's "rain dance" approach of QE and monetary stimulus.
