Sometimes though when they do have ideas they first have to create a crisis in order to implement it - that's when they're at their most dangerous. Standard practice for "solving" crisis in services is to sell them off to some corporation their brother or buddy runs.<br /><br />If they're not doing that it means that department is already contracted with said corporation for something really lucrative. It's odd though, isn't it, that when you buy a couple of penny stocks the company sends you an annual report detailing how much they spent on what, and how much they made. I'm still waiting for an annual report from governments I've been funding for decades.<br /><br />Instead we get a speech and if you want a hard copy you've got to buy one.McGonagallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887321534801112949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395424456494147830.post-28300629772584489932010-04-02T14:59:58.331+01:002010-04-02T14:59:58.331+01:00Scunnert,

Every budget (give or take a few) is still going to have at least 80% of what it has already and NO ONE is talking about what they'll do with those departments, programmes, curriculums, waiting lists...<br /><br />And most people are banging the drum for their parties thinking they are deserving of power.<br /><br />If this election is decided by cuts and cuts alone, everything else is that the state is involved in is going to be an absolute hash.Political Dissuasionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444377943477287319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395424456494147830.post-90216824884480231242010-04-02T11:50:37.607+01:002010-04-02T11:50:37.607+01:00Good points.

I doubt that we will get a serious conversation on any of these issues as politicians are trained to "stay on point".McGonagallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887321534801112949noreply@blogger.com
