To date the worst economic mismanagement the country has ever seen - Cowen has tripled the national debt in two years and then some. It will be 6 times higher when he leaves office than when he started. Criminal.

Previous winners -
Jack Lynch - 17% deficit
Garret Fitzgerald - deficits over 8% for five years, doubling national debt early in process.
CJH's GUBU goverment - public sector pay bill ramped up. Although in fairness to Haughey he did redeem himself in 1987 by cutting deficit from Fitzgerald's 8% to 3% for his period of 5 years.

Cant blame BIFFO solely. BERTIE the spoofer has to share the majority of the current slump.

Leniahan has doubled our national debt in just 18 months, thats damn impressive.

Thread Title amendment request

20% of taxes will merely service the debt (that is, pay the Interest)

I hope people realise how bad things are

I tried to change i.Not sure if it worked. In my defence, it was a direct copy of the Newspaper headline that I quoted.

Cowen is still there. Bertie is a hasbeen. And after Mahon he will be a completely disgraced hasbeen.

Focus on Cowen. Hammer him. Lenny is untouchable.
