Re: Coalition Government's Solution To All Troubles - Borrow from SBP
I'm a democracy lover, but we must accept that no system of government is perfect, so far. If government is going to be a popularity contest, politicians are going to see spending as the way to buy popularity. In a mature system, the taxpaying public votes out the craziest spenders.
Democracy has it's problems, for sure. But I can't think of any other way that is better.
