"For a glimpse of what awaits Britain, Europe, and America as budget deficits spiral to war-time levels, look at what is happening to the Irish welfare state. "
"Events have already forced Premier Brian Cowen to carry out the harshest assault yet seen on the public services of a modern Western state. He has passed two emergency budgets to stop the deficit soaring to 15pc of GDP. They have not been enough. The expert An Bord Snip report said last week that Dublin must cut deeper, or risk a disastrous debt compound trap.
A further 17,000 state jobs must go (equal to 1.25m in the US), though unemployment is already 12pc and heading for 16pc next year.
Education must be cut 8pc. Scores of rural schools must close, and 6,900 teachers must go. "The attacks outlined in this report would represent an education disaster and light a short fuse on a social timebomb", said the Teachers Union of Ireland.
Nobody is spared. Social welfare payments must be cut 5pc, child benefit by 20pc. The Garda (police), already smarting from a 7pc pay cut, may have to buy their own uniforms. Hospital visits could cost £107 a day, etc, etc. "

Spending stays out of control, we will be forced to do this here just to pay for all of the out of control spending.Klaatu barada nikto

If our deficits are a problem, then why did Bush, Cheney, and Reagan tell us that "deficits don't matter" ?

Regardless, the fact remains.
We are yet to see you post one fact.

Regardless. It doesn't matter if you are a stone cold fool. I DID post facts, this WAS the position of thr Bush/Cheney administration, and Ronald Reagan.
You should google before posting and looking like a idiot ....again.

I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

So, you now admit I am telling the truth ? ...that Cheney/Reagan DID say these words ?
