    As a Kiwi, all of this has no personal impact on me.
    But I seem to remember...

    Not long ago some the auto industry were asking your government to bail them out of financial trouble.
    Some of the auto executives had the temerity to turn up in their corporate jets; and were told to sell those off now, and to live within their means before coming cap-in-hand pleading for assistance.

    Your country's going broke...running huge budget deficits.

    Wouldn't it seem like a good idea for the politicians to practice what they preach?

    And sell those 'corporate jets'?

    Just wondering...

    AHHhhhhh.. imagine a world like that! Where the politician actually wanted to do what's right for his country moreso than his political party... what a world it would be!

    But instead, "we" just continue to vote in the incumbent and now we've taught them that they have nothing to fear from the voters, they only have to deliver promises and then blame someone else for the countries ills.

    Maybe someday it'll change? .....................soon?????............................

    ps, as far as no personal impact? If "we" fail, we're taking everything / everyone with us! Remember that world economy? Here it goes!!!
