I think that the problem is that the Govt is still in place.
Don't want to drag this off topic. I agree that there are people who spend their money carelessly and then look for handouts from charities or social welfare which would be better given elsewhere. What I objected to was Purple's dismissal of the entire VdeP as 'idiots'.
Or even "well meaning fools"
I think Purple probably just mixes in a very small social circle. Perhaps he should consider helping the V de P this year even if only to educate himself on how the other half live.

So basically the people who let everything get to where it is are now the ones telling us that cuts are needed.
If we had had a general election I think the country would be more willing to take the pain.
Look I think all this talk of strikes is futile - the cuts will come and hopefully we can come out the other side.
I agree with this. People would have a lot more buy in to the recovery plan and would be more willing to get behind it if there was a GA.
People will also feel much better after venting their anger at wreckless politicians who are responsible for the mess.
And I think the global community would give us more support. At the moment, Cowen & Co are giving the world the impression that they are totally out of their depth. As a result, few members of the global community are willing to invest in Ireland Inc.. A change of leadership would restore confidence in this country send a message to the International community that Ireland Inc does not tolerate incompetence.

Great name for a band!
let the IMF come in and make the cuts,..what do we have to loose at this stage!
Thats what will end up happening, as it lets the gombeen men of the hook. It will allow them to keep their heads down for a year or two while the cuts are being made. After which they will rise like a phoenix from the ashes to start running the country again with a clean slate.
