The country is absolutely fucked. Don't be fooled by the release of data saying we're 'officially' out of recession. That's technically correct, but 0.1% is marginal. That can easily be revised back to 0 and reverse through the next quarter.

50 million is peanuts really and is really helping people, but you have to ask yourself why the government is crippling us with this CO2 farce. They have truly lost the plot in an effort to look good 'globally'.

I also think afghanistan is a waste. We should bring our troops home and beef up intelligence and domestic security.
