An interesting article by Philip Lane of TCD
Tough budget needed to stave off grimmer future - The Irish Times - Wed, Nov 04, 2009
An informative piece that simply lays out where we are, what we need to do and why we need to do it.
It’s refreshing to read an economic opinion devoid of scaremongering, dodgy figures or agenda.
Grim immediate future needed to stave off grim interim future .After that ..who knows? Its quite pythonesque ,in a way .
The grim gets grimmer .

You tell em Hal. Too many doomsayers by far nowadays. How are tax revenues looking by year end. I have a wager on that figure with a poster I think well of , and I don't think well of too many here lately .
Interesting that there is no mention of the policies or the people that got us into this disaster in the first place. 'We are where are' no fault ecomomics. Is he angling for a spot in the Bank under the new regime?
Having read through this twice now I think it a front runner for a Plain English Campaign mention. Its the worst assembly of economic gobbleygook that I've ever seen. 18 paragraphs and every possible combination of economic jargon and current buzzwords to state the bleeding obvious.
The country is fupped,people are on survival at the moment.The more the gimps in government rob people with Taxes the more people will rob to stay alive.They haven't a hope of getting this country back on track.
The only ones that can do that are people themselves ,by looking after themselves,and finding angles to work the system.The gimps in government are selfish, cluless morons ,that careless about people or their situations,your a PRSI number that's about it like a tagged cow,but the government get the nuts and let you starve.Fupp them.
A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.
WEAVER, HENRY GRADY,
I think I know of whom you speak. We were discussing that very matter just the other day and while all hope is not as yet lost, he does fear his finances are about to take a hit. In view of this probable situation he informed me that he has put his financial people on notice to make the necessary arrangements and I believe you may expect contact soon on the matter.Originally Posted by mryoungdan
In the meantime you keep up the good work now.
You probably think that because it doesn't push you one way or the other. It just states the facts and gives you room to think. Unusual, ain't it?
Can't believe I wasted 5 minutes of my life reading such bull.

His article titled betrays him immediately. Tough but fair budget is what is needed.
