43,500 Euro for your Vote?

43,500 euro each. That is what the Irish government offered the Irish people today in the new 184 billion euro National Development Plan.

The Government says it is focused at addressing economic weaknesses which include significant infrastructural deficits, unbalanced regional development, disadvantaged areas, housing affordability, science and technology and concerns about loss of competitiveness.

That almost sounds like what the opposition should be saying. After all these are the people who have been in power for the last 10 years. 10 years of unprecedented economic prosperity and they are now promising to fix "infrastructural deficits, unbalanced regional development, disadvantaged areas, housing affordability, science and technology and concerns about loss of competitiveness." What were the last 10 years, just one long learning curve?

I allow people to comment anonymously, many blogs dont. If you want to express an opinion and throw insults my way but are afraid to back up your statements with an ID at least back up your opinions and insults with a logical argument.

Unfortunately due to spammers and people posting libel comments I've turned on moderation and just deleted the spam comments.
