    Your opinion on this article is not slight, but stupid to the point of being meaningless.

    I will elaborate.

    The article goes on for four or five paragraphs, to express the brilliant notion that public sector pensions should be cut. That is a) unoriginal and b) slight - she is talking about an economic deficit of many tens of billions, and her proposal would save 130 million. In my view, it is her article that is stupid.

    Have to agree!
    "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." Mark Twain

    “When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoléon Bonaparte
