I'm afraid that the massive debt will need to be serviced at some point but we need to realise it will be a lengthy, painful task. So lengthy, in fact, our great grandchildren will still be feeling the pain when we are long gone and governments still won't have any money of their own.
The majority of us just grit our teeth, gird our loins (am I allowed to say that now?) and get on with life.
I find myself having unexpected "power naps" these days, thus only caught one part of the statements.
I did catch most of the Treasurers Q and A this afternoon though and it seemed to me that if a person isn't an expert at working out which group(s) heading they come under then their pockets will be nearly empty instead of nearly full.
