sound familiar ?

[badger]

The budget should be balanced,The treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced.
The Arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled , and assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
People must learn to work again , Instead of living on public assistance.

Sound about right for 2011/12

No surprise. Recessions are not new. Arrogance of officialdom is not new. Public debt is not new. bankruptcy is not new.

[Bazza]

No surprise. Recessions are not new. Arrogance of officialdom is not new. Public debt is not new. bankruptcy is not new.

And this government think they are going to sort it.. when others have failed for thousands of years! Ha! Ha!
