Since people haven't paid enough attention to the possibility of an economic collapse, I do not think that the decision was a good one. Do you need it to be simpler? It took ME a second to figure it out too!

I would like more of the article. At think I see these facts. 1. It may be a poorly constructed sentence. (Yet it may make sense in context - I doubt it.) 2. There is and has been, too much (belief in and) attention being given to a theory that we are in a bad economic crisis. The writer does not believe it is as real or as true as some have claimed. 3. There was a decision made (we have no clue what it was.) The writer thinks it was a wrong choice because of the misinformation about the economy. The choice would have been a good choice only if the economy was in as bad of a situation as some have claimed. It is not (according to the writer.)
