Since when did you need a budget to curtail spending ?
It won't be a budget to curtail spending. It'll ba a budget to increase the taxes we pay so they can continue to give Civil service management their annual increments and bounses.
Don't you mean when?
Veni, vidi, arrivederci

4 months into 2008, the pattern for the year is now well set.
It is not getting any better.
There are times when you are simply required to be impolite. There are times when condescension is called for!
