Labor or Liberal we have no one to blame but ourselves. This is, after all, a democracy. Cast your mind back 12 to 18 months ago when Treasurer Hockey was getting all agitated and animated about our nation's financial position. He wanted to do a tough budget. He said at the time if we don't take action now becoming like Greece was not out of the question and we would be leaving our children with a debt they could never repay but take a little tough medicine now for a few years and let's fix the problem......

and what happened??

He was labelled as an alarmist and out of touch with the plight of everyday Australians. The Libs plummeted in the polls because we were told an inconvenient truth that we didn't want to hear.....

And how did the Libs respond??

They responded as you would expect a government of the people for the people to respond by making the next budget much more touchy feely user friendly.

But of course none of us will ever give credit where credit is due to the government's foresight and most certainly none of us will take any responsibility for this ourselves. We'll just blame whichever government is the government of the day, be that Labor or Liberal, and we'll kick their sorry asses out of office at the next election.....

That's sure to fix the problem.............not.

Now I am confused!! Since when has Australia ever been a democracy?
