I wouldn't be surprised if the hosting & domain acquisition was paid for out of the authors social welfare money.

Let's imagine for a second that it was. How would that make any difference to the validity of the arguments put forward one way or another?

Is it a hack or just a site that they put up themselves where there was no site before.

It's not hackers, that site has always been a satire site.

Because it's a bit rich of people not contributing to moan over how the government is spending the money of people who are.

At the end of the day, we've a nation full of armchair warriors who moan, moan, moan over every little thing that they see the government doing that they feel will affect them personally. They don't care for the bigger picture, why these things are being implemented or the state the country is in, they just ignorantly moan about the "attack" on the "ordinary" person here. We don't need more soapboxes for such people popping up.

It's getting extremely tiring and we'll only see more of it at the next budget but hey, it's from a nation who sat idle over 800 years of foreign rule so at least we know it'll only ever amount to moaning.

If this was a hack though, I hope the person is found and made an example of.

This is fascinating. I was - like many others, I'd imagine - under the impression that the vast majority of those who are currently unemployed found themselves in that state due to no fault of their own.

Secondly, as they still have to eat, purchase services etc, they are "contributing" via indirect taxation, not to mention whatever contributions they made while employed, as the majority were at one stage.

Thirdly, I'm still not seeing how a persons current employment staus renders their opinion incorrect, or less valid, than anothers.

Yes. Less of people expressing opinions. All dissenting voices should shut up and do what they're told.

I imagine you're the sort of person who thought David McWilliams was just some moany troublemaker when he told people that the property bubble was unsustainable back at the height of the boom.

The difference between David McWilliams and the moaning armchair warriors online is that McWilliams has always offered constructive alternatives. He is also backed by an education and experience.

What we have online now is a bunch of people who've really no idea what they're talking about and are either just repeating something they heard off someone they respect (such as their friend down the pub) or are outright just making anti-governmental statements for the sake of making them. Coupled with this nonsensical bleating is the complete and utter lack of suggestions for alternatives.

We've people moaning all day and night about the "gubberment" "elite" and how they're being "robbed' or "attacked" and how it's "unfair", when the same people doing the vacuous bleating have no idea of the sheer state we find ourselves in, how we got here, etc.

Everyone is always open to criticism, but vacuous vitriol for the sake of merely moaning to feel better about oneself does nothing for anyone. Not only this, but the same people are never open to criticism themselves. If you say "well, the government does need to urgently get in quite a lot of money" in response to a rant about the new charges, you'll either get aggressive bile directed towards you or more nonsensical, recycled tripe about the "elite" and how we should be taking even more money off those who've been the most successful here.

I think debate on everything is great, so long as criticism is leveled with positive suggestions and alternatives. A bunch of people sitting around and ranting about something will lead to nothing.

Thankfully the Irish people have proven themselves to be armchair warriors and nothing more though. At least we can be assured that we won't be seeing any Greece like situations where our public buildings are being attacked, or our Gardai resources being strained.

Perhaps you could form some sort of committee, whereby only those ideas that you deem of merit( from those who pass your credit checks) enter the public domain, and a gagging order is placed on the rest.

No he hasn't.

He has offered populist, sycophantic economic advice to a public for his own professional gain. At least, I must presume it is for his own professional gain. I can see no other reason as to why any man would offer such simplistic, economically illiterate solutions as McWilliams seems to favour, but which (because he is undoubtedly an intelligent man,) I have no doubt he understands to be total bunkum, with (thankfully) no hope of ever being implemented.

Lots of economists, commentators, lawyers and everyday, ordinary Irish people have come up with some highly creative and engaging technical and political solutions to Ireland's economic crisis. But I certainly wouldn't number McWilliams in that rank.
