As long as we dance to bankers’ tune, we have to suffer these budgets

TAOISEACH Enda Kenny has told us in his address to the nation on Sunday night that we are not to blame for the crisis.

Well, that is nice to know, isn’t it? After we have been bludgeoned for years by mainstream politicians and a craven commentariat into believing that, as one of them put it, “we have all partied too much”.

Since Kenny has a different take on things, all of a sudden, perhaps he would tell us why we should continue to pay the tab, in so many bitterly painful ways, which someone else left on our table, through the budget his government is imposing on the nation?
