just been lookin at cowan talking about spend spend spend----surely he cannot have fofgotten PPARS,Evoting and the storage of the useless machines, the number of spin doctors the huge wastage of money in the health service Bertis make up bill ----need i go on
i'm bringing this point across from another post.
I agree with your remarks re the wastage of government money, though if you read the chapter in Noel Whelan's book Showtime or Substance he comes to the conclusion that the wastage of money under the FF/PD Government was not much worse than normal ..
in any event, I wanted to make another point:
Cowen criticised the FG and Labour spending plan last night but look at the FF/PD proposals for the next Government and ask yourself the question:
what's the difference:
PD's want tax bands at 100k and 50k .. and married one income on a magical 59k with reduced higher and lower rates - FF instead say they want to index link bands and credits, they want to increase (double) the home carers tax credit and fundamentally reform PRSI .. these policies are incompatible AS WELL
The same argument Cowen makes Re FG and Labour could be made of FF and PD's
Cowen is an effective minister with exceptional skills. He will be an essential component of the incoming FF/Labour goverment and will steer the ecomony to bigger and better things.
Remember how labour and fine gael doomed the economy in the 1970s and 1980s? Noone wants to go back to that.
When I heard the 'tax and spend' soundbyte I realised just how much of the neo-con ideology that FF had assimulated.
Veni, vidi, arrivederci
nice to see Richard Bruton used my point on the news at one :!:
He's on the RTE Radio1 now and Richard Bruton is wiping the floor with him. He's really lost the rag! Constantly shouting down and interrupting!

Whatever cpmpany FF are using for media training this time out, they should really give up on the "I didn't interrupt you" sh1te! Schoolboy debating tactics!

Aisling---in fairness Ithink you will agree that Noel Whelan could be regarded as slightly biased
