It's like a hungry child screaming for more food, even though you've just fed them dinner and pudding. Across the Tasman, Jim Chalmers, the Aussie Treasurer is facing high debt and deficit. They've managed to achieve the highest level of spending to GDP of any government in 40 years outside the pandemic. Sound familiar? To deal with this, the IMF has just told them they should cut their cloth. They've also suggested the Federal government may need to bail out some states who are also weighed down by the Double Ds of post-Covid governance. Debt and deficit. Let's not forget this is the lucky country. The one that's been firing on cylinders we don't even have.

Or does the insatiable beast come back for more? This is a problem unique to government. In private business, as you well know, you only put prices up so high in order to cover costs. People have choice about what they buy and they might put you out of business. So you cut costs. You innovate. You change and adapt to remain competitive. Government's can raise taxes indefinitely. The problem with some of them is that, given the chance, they would.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
