Step up

This is probably for the politics cafe but that is gone also slightly tongue in cheek.

The Irish economy is doing very well and we are hiring more teachers, nurses Garda and so on. This seem to annoy some section of Irish society as they would rather the money was used to pay off public debt which is a reasonable point of view.

This got me thinking if you espouse the view that no more teacher nurser or Gards should be employed should they be the first to step up and say they regect the hiring of more teacher on idealogical ground in their children's school and are happy to have them in a class of 50 as they are a person of principles.

hmmm

Or maybe they are saying that teachers work too little hours. Or that we should have less time spent teaching religion and Irish. Or that we have too many teachers not actually involved in teaching. Or that we pay teachers too much.

There's lots of reasons for opposing increased government spending, which are more complex than your superficial analysis.

I know it is superficial thats way I said its tongue in cheek, no they are objecting on thel grounds of more spending by the state and fact that hiring teachers carries the obligation to pay a pension and thus incurs future liabilities to the state all of which are perfectible reasonable points of view, however if you espouse that point of view you should step up an live with the consequence., no I espouse less state spending for those over there but not for me.
