"Debt" itself isn't an issue of a problem as long as its spent on the right things (NACT hasn't). Using debt as an attack line against Labour and then incuring higher levels is typical NACT hypocrisy.

I'm a "Labour supporter" but am fully cognizant of the reality that they are largely a form of watered down neoliberal right leaners at this point. They don't even realise it though.

Boomers be boomers ("we did it all with hard work, don't mention the lifetime of preferential social policy please). Mr. "I'm wealthy and sorted" knows who butters his bread come election time. Although I suspect he's narked off a few too many opposing blocs at this point.

We don't need to "save" money. We can afford to pay politicians. We can afford to pay nurses and teachers well. This "affording" things is a myth that the likes of Luxon and co keep going as a pathetic excuse to harm the worst off and enrich the already rich.

Appreciate that any changes at this point are going to result in less not more...neoliberal types always go after the soft targets in pursuit of their "fiscal responsibility".
