It doesn't leave much, if anything extra.

Ever done a proper budget? How much booze and dope do you buy? Trying to keep up with the Joneses a bit much?

I don't really do budgets, I just buy what I need if I can afford it. Buds and booze don't cost me anything, you just have to play the game.

So you think they should carry on borrowing and spending to get out of debt?

Nope. I think they should look into a different way of living entirely, otherwise they're going to have to keep borrowing and spending to get out of debt as that is the new black.

Thats not going to happen in the immediate future - so what alternatives to austerity are there? If your household credit card repayments are more than you earn what else can you do but try and cut back. I´m not seeing any alternatives offered?

Probably because there are no alternatives. If you've lost your income and can't pay the CC bill and the bank come calling then you're fucked. It's shit, in fact it's seriously fuckin shit that people are in that position. Yup they may well have themselves to blame, but losing their job is all it takes to end up on that position and more often than not that isn't in their power to control.

The alternative that isn't going to happen in the immediate future is just about the only way you're going to address the recurring issue of recession. All money is debt which means that a country and people in that country that gets landed with the debt are going to suffer. Tis bulloftheshits that people are treated like lepers for trying to enjoy themselves.

Cannot spread for you again... the central banks rig, I mean set, interest rates and inflation, so why shouldn't anyone else? Because it buries hundreds of thousands if not millions under a pile of shit and destroys innovation and cooperation in the name of money.

"Give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes it's laws." springs to mind. Yet the mindless plebs and sheeple who value themselves above others will defend an obviously rigged world because they believe that they're doing ok and that it doesn't affect them. They know who they are and they don't lose any sleep over it because they justify their "earnings" on the basis that they're worth it. Where clearly having such an attitude shows quite the opposite. The same brainless cunts who revere and adore the economic system whilst ignoring that very same economic system whilst justifying their bene bashing. Fuckin pathetic breed of the human species that fail to realise just how ignorant and naive they are and all because they believe that they are living in the real world. Useless fuckin morons!
