    The point is we're being forced back to 1950s living standards by corrupt politicians.

    But also because people borrowed cheaply and bought and spent like there was no tomorrow, but tomorrow has arrived.

    People like David drive me mad, it is everyone's fault he has big debts, he didn't care when he was flashing the cash and you couldn't get a plummer for love nor money.
    :mad:

    I don't think he is saying that exactly. I can see where he is coming from. You try to better yourself. You start to earn a decent wage. You move house - try to improve things for the family. You maybe change the car.
    "The fundamentals of the economy are fine" we were told, so you borrow to try to improve yourself - "knowing" that the fundamentals are fine and that you'll be able to pay your debts.
    Then the rug is pulled out from under you.....every budget!

    I would guess after all the cuts coming down the road, tax and social welfare rates will probably be what they were at back in the 90s.

    :D:D Correct! They are owed the money. I don't see wht your point is.


    This is a conversation for a different forum so this is my last word on it here. My point is you said "Germany are lending us the money". No, Germany are actually lending their own banks the money and by no stretch of the imagination is it lent to or owed by "us" as in, the Irish public.

    It's off topic on this forum. If you want to discuss it further, start a thread here and I will be happy to contribute

    Suck it up Paddy

    You voted in the Smokes and Daggers for three elections in a row, 3.

    FF

    The party that brought down a planet

    Paddy is very very slow at taking responsibility for their own actions, 1) voting in a crowd of populist power hungry crooks not once, not twice, but three times 2) Borrowing more than they could afford

    And the funny thing is, after five years of trying to clean this mess up, Paddy will vote in the same bunch of criminals in the next election. 75% of health costs are salaries! 80% of Education costs are salaries.

    Cowan and Co will be welcomed with open arms after this lot are finished, its the natural cycle of irish politics.

    As someone said on the News at One, you hear a lot of nonsense like 'the last Government did all the heavy lifting' and 'we have had the worst budgets we will have'

    The cuts are only going to get cuttier :(

    I see where you and he are coming from... but anyone in the construction sector couldn't have thought that things were going to keep going the way they were for the next 20 yrs, at those levels of wages. No-one asked where it was all coming from... it was borrowed and spent with abandon in a lot of cases.

    I am one of them, Id a ball during the boom, (but I didn't borrow apart from my mortgage, I doubt I'd get a bag of magic beans for my house but I can do nothing but get on with it. Yes its a killer all the cuts I've had in my pay pack over the last 3 years (and the next 3 to come). But I know they have to come and there will be more, so I just keep budgeting and pulling back and cutting down, I don't ring Joe to moan. The country is in the absolute ****ter, if we want nurses, teachers, guards etc to be paid and for the lights to remain on this is what its going to take. What is the other option? I can't see one.
