I choose to doubt that the cost of living will come down anytime soon. Prices have gone up; they will not drop. The high taxes we are subjected to will not lead to any meaningful economic progress, at least for the poor who are the majority.
I am using this line of argumentation from Rene Descartes' 'method of doubt'. The principle in the method of doubt is that one should only believe if and when there is no more reason to doubt a belief. This method should not be mistaken for being negative. If anything, it is a reminder that being positive must be justifiable. If the Kenya Kwanza government does not provide constructive and hard evidence for the claim that high taxes are necessary to turn around the economy, only fools, should believe it.
