PERSPECTIVE : Debt Level

ANON

The problem we have is that PMX does not call for sacrifice. Instead, he surfs the surface with spectacular statements. He has to call for belt-tightening, discard practices that drain and weaken the economy and look at increasing government revenue. We cannot sustain the current debt servicing obligations which he inherited from his predecessors. Nearly a year in office and he has not had the honesty to speak frankly about what has to be done, what is realistic and achievable. If he gives up the finance portfolio sooner than later this matter can be handled in a more positive way. In our seventies, we all have limitations in terms of energy and entrenched thinking. Will our Brother transcend these limitations or get us deeper into an unsustainable situation?
