Another Non-event

That's what Friday's budget is going to be. Just like the previous ones. People are so fed up with the truckloads of lies that Sithanen has been dumping on them with such regularity that they've stopped listening to him for a long time now. And that reduction in interest has also spread to journalists across the board. For instance, many of them didn't even tune in to listen to his carefully choreographed appearance on MBC's Dossier last Wednesday. And it's kind of difficult to blame an overwhelming majority of us who feel this way.

While he certainly did appear quite pathetic on that programme the saddest part of his bean-counting policies is of course the unnecessary misery he has inflicted on the weaker segments of the population while making the richest ones richer.
