Many of which would be left empty/vacant and he totally disagreed with me.Another fool who voted for that Bertie treasonous Gob....e! Crashes are cyclical because the monetary system is a debt based economy con! You are all slaves to the Elites! The system is rigged that way and the Banks all know that the mugs will always have no choice but to bail them out.
By the way Hitler didn't commit suicide either, he used many doubles, he and Eva Braun fled to Argentina, many Nazi Scientists joined/formed NASA. The F.B.I know this, they have files regarding this so go read them

If I wasn't good or performed to the best of my abilities in the various jobs that I worked in I would have been sacked so there should be a performance system too for Politicians and more Referendums on important economic and social issues, particularily national resources or matters that will effect environmental health.

By voting them in we trusted them to run this country and make the sometimes hard decisions. We do not get to pick and choose what decisions they make. Our democratic power reaches to the polls. Some peoples expectations of a government are totally unrealistic saying that though I do feel these parties will regret imposing austerity. The main problem I have with this government is there is no middle ground, their failure is backing the banks to the hilt and piling the pain on the electorate. A radical shake up is needed for this country, Sinn Fein are a long time waiting to get into power and deserve a shot, it can be no worse.

However the Council says that because this is the first budget since Ireland exited the bailout, being 'prudent' would show the government is serious about fixing the remaining problems in the economy. And it highlights the high levels of debt, urging the coalition to go ahead with a 2 billion euro cut next month.

The policy of jobs for the boys and cronyism is alive and well. Many of us thought that was left in history's dustbin with FF. They communicate very poorly to the people of the country. They appear to talk down to the people in an arrogant and condescending way. All this as they prioritise the interests of big business and the banks. Oh, and I almost forgot: 'Tell me when will you be mine Tell me quango, quango, quango'

The party expects to raise $15,000 (€10,600) from eight fundraising dinners Down Under, where Ms McDonald addressed republican supporters in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Ms McDonald claimed the money would cover her travel and accommodation costs, plus those of Mid-Ulster MP Francie Molloy, who accompanied her on the trip.
