Watching The Watchers

“ For the chief of state under modern conditions, a limiting factor is too many subjects and problems in too many areas of government to allow solid understanding of any of them... , This leaves the field open to protective stupidity. Meanwhile bureaucracy, safely repeating today what it did yesterday, rolls on as ineluctably as some vast computer , which once penetrated by error, duplicates it forever.” Barbara W.

Costello’s Infrastructure Budget
Economic Hypocrisy
More Industry Assistance?

After the eminent Treasurer explains his (and the corrupt nameless faceless Aussie mandarins) budget solution for infrastructure, it is already clear it can be exposed as some massive pork barreling exercise designed to also prop up a lot of companies involved in this sector. But there is other infrastructure of greater economic importance that they must ignore at great cost to the nation and its people.
Nation building? Or, how the political status quo and their mandarins use a nation’s budget to keep themselves in power and control? Stay tuned for after their budget PR! This should be nice to see them eat some of their own self serving bullshit for a change.
