Re: What are you going to do during the recession?
Indeed Mitzy it is.
Getting enough out of taxes as income to fund all the "want to do" things. I remain amazed how many people do not accept that the government only spends our own money, meaning that which they have managed to get us to pay to the treasury. For some reason some people think the goverment is made of money (out of nowhere).

I think we are in total agreement on this one Mitzy.
Now do you prefer to get screwed with a particular colour ?

Re: What are you going to do during the recession?
Yeah, but there are all the background costs to consider.
How much would the reduction in pollution be worth? The reduction of traffic?
Don't worry, no-one will ever take such a stupid suggestion like mine seriously until we are in the position of treading water to survive. Then and only then will anyone start to think that the simple, vulgar consideration of money wasn't the most important consideration.
Narmean?

As I said before, what they give with one hand they take away with the other. They only have so much to play around with, just like your average joe's monthly budget, so if they lose money somewhere they have to claw it back elsewhere.

Yeah, but if low taxes mean doing nothing about climate change and the environment...

Trouble is, none of us have any real clout, and any real change would require a lot of turkeys to vote for xmas.

Re: What are you going to do during the recession?
They do dont they,the trouble with that is there seems to be a lot of half arsed business`s that never do anything exceptionaly well ,many not lasting more than six months, better to do one thing well than cock up several things,
