As long as we're borrowing from the Americans and not vice versa!

I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from them Eugene Debs

Meanwhile the media "economists" will call for reduced tax rates and cuts in government spending in a country that elects single-issue TDs when local hospitals are threatened with cutbacks: public service provision is not really negotiable here and they know it. So tax cuts mean public borrowing.  Clever people.

Or move to Booman's.
