Today the USA has announced that it is going to pump another $600B into the system, commonly known as quantitative easing. That's the equivalent of burning $1M a every single day since the time of Attila the Hun in the 5th Century. This is to be added to the $1.75 trillion that has already been printed. These are huge numbers. Two words come to mind. Bloody hell. Literally.
And here we have councils adhering to government directives to reduce spending by cutting road repairs and shutting down child care facilities. Two thoughts come to mine. The American Tea Party Movement and Parkinson's Law. Help! We need to sort these bastards out now before they reach the tipping point of no return.

Member of the Coffee Party, here. Tea is just not my cup of tea.
Where's a good time machine when one's needed?

Where will it all end I wonder.
Surely there must still be hope SueAnn.
Very good Eva. I swing towards coffee too!
Ah, but Sandi would you go back in time or forward in time? This is the question.
Anne, as my mother used to say "there'll be tears before bedtime".
