However, it is obvious that the EU politicians, unelected officials and those in the financial services sector are suffering from an addiction. Their addiction to power, control, ego and personal financial gain, has destroyed the lives, hopes and aspirations of tens of millions of people Just like every other addict, the Eurocrats immediately condemn anybody who begins to suggest that it is they who may be a big part of the problem.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.eamonnblaney.com/wordpress/blog/2011/12/13/another-eu-summit-another-eu-failure/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Budget, How Are Ya ?</title><link>http://www.eamonnblaney.com/wordpress/blog/2009/12/08/budget-how-are-ya/</link> <comments>http://www.eamonnblaney.com/wordpress/blog/2009/12/08/budget-how-are-ya/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:21:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>eblaney</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Fianna Fail]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Government Policy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Social Comment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Taxation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brian Cowen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Budget]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cutbacks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Public Service]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Public Spending]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Revenue]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Unions]]></category> <guid

The reason I ask is assuming that it does make it through the Dail vote all that it will have achieved is getting an additional €4 Billion into our public piggy bank. ' €4 billion, that's an enormous amount of additional revenue" ? I hear you cry. It is enormous but it is not nearly enough. Unfortunately, since I pointed out in a previous posting (economic-civil-war-revisited )  the actual amount of our debt has increased by a further €8 Billion, simply because the Government did not act back in February when they knew the scale of the problem. If that's not bad enough, next years spending will  increase by an additional €5 Billion compared to this year !]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.eamonnblaney.com/wordpress/blog/2009/12/08/budget-how-are-ya/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
