Can I just say that I hate people who don't understand cause and effect?
The White Stripes have a great song about this on their latest album.
This morning on the radio some idiot politician was complaining about that clothes company that is laying off a bunch of people, saying that the Governments stimulus packages hasn't worked. This does not follow. It doesn't mean that the stimulus package has failed, or made things worse. It means the stimulus packages hasn't fixed everything. As of course it can't, because the GFC is a GLOBAL issue. It might have made things better. Maybe, without the packages, more companies would have laid people off, or shut down. We don't know. The only way we could know if they have had no effect would be to explore alternate universes.
The worst part is that some people don't realise when politicians are spouting crap.
If only people would actually deal in facts.
I'm not pro-Labor, really. I am anti-stupid.
