We choose government representatives. They decide how much money to collect from us. They also determine how to spend it for our benefit.
We expect them to be honest, disciplined, anticipatory and prudent.
We expect them to spend only what they can collect.
Without fear, favour or prejudice.
Just before an election the current Australian government is paying more money to every household.
It will have to borrow money to do so.
Is it trying to persuade us it is a good government by paying us money that we will have to pay back?
Well, Jim Horner, that is our pie and our plum – you are not a good boy!
If the people re-elect this government, they deserve what they will have to pay for.
In the future, more will have to be spent on government debt than on services to the people.
This has go to stop!
