Why don’t leaders stop trying to get blood out of a stone?

Yesterday we had the fifth of what will be a longer series of savage budgets.

Further burdens have been placed on our shoulders to pay off professional financial gamblers aka bondholders, and to keep our politicians and senior public servants in the lifestyle they have become accustomed to.

In saying this, we should not forget the massive burden that we are being asked to carry to fund the lifestyle of senior bankers, current and retired, since many of them are now State employees.
