rguable so others can agree or disagree with your position, and supportable with the evidence you’ll gather. Your thesis statement will identify your main claim about your topic and the main supporting points you’ll be developing in the body of your letter.
"The best policy to follow during economic crisis is to lower taxes instead of printing money".
It is a thesis because it presents a statement or a claim that needs to be defended by the author of the statement. It is also a statement because it presents the opportunity for people to agree or disagree with it. In fact, many people think exactly the opposite of the thesis: that in economic crisis taxes should not be lowered, and money should be printed instead.
