Trouble is, "you" couldn't pass a law on your own. It takes 2 sides of the parliament/Senate/Congress to agree on an acceptable budget/deficit.
ReplyDeleteWe are not going to get a resolution on this until people realise that it is not just about "scroungers" but also about overspending on medicine defence and a host of other public sector "services". Nothing wrong with the services provided, but people should expect to be paid 30% less for what they do.
