I keep hearing/seeing the last lot trying to have a pop at the current policies, it's hilarious as they don't have a shred of credibility left. Yes the fiscal stimulus was needed to keep the lights on but they were pissing money into numerous black holes for years with negligable return and the effect of growing the public sector into an unsustainable enormous vampire squid with liabilities stretching forward for decades.
Yes - it's the economy, stupid but how about considering the possibility of a downturn and stashing a bit for when it starts pissing down. twunts - I wouldn't let them organise my shoes...Comment
