Interesting Times Indeed

Oh the evil green politics of envy. The old rat is a master at the art of twisting every possible set of circumstances to portray himself in the best possible light

Isn't it amazing how when interest rates were going down - this was due to excellent economic management and sheer talent of the fearless leaders in government but when they go up - it's because of those nasty Labour state governments who keep borrowing. When that little story does not sell they then twist it into a sign of their own excellent economic management
If the sneaky little git had not promised to keep rates low at the last election (something that was not in his power to do and he damned well knew it) then he would not be having half of these problems

Not too happy about paying yet more interest to the bank - like rent, it too is dead money - something that a lot of home buyers conveniently forget. But the Iz would never ever sell her soul to the party that promised to put an extra dollar in our hip pocket. In fact, the bigger the promises, the lower down the Izzie vote list a party goes. Either they will promise just about anything to get in and then not deliver which makes them liars or they will deliver which makes them reckless economic vandals
People overcommitted themselves with borrowings and then wanted to believe that the Rat could protect them from the big bad banks

And lest we forget, not everyone hates higher rates. There will be lots of happy retirees out there with fatter nest eggs who will be glad of the extra silver sickles since the cost of living is going up at a rate much higher than the pension

Anyway, Izzie is sick of living in an economy. Much preferred the good old days of living in a society.
