Where is the common sense?

Just what has become of common sense in this country? I ask this after hearing the latest ramblings of the now in power political representatives. This idea that we cannot afford the pension is a total load of rubbish, off course we can.

Bad spending by government department, politician expenditure during and after they leave, tampering with the super fund - that by the way was set up for this reason - and many more bad spending practices are the reason pensioners are been hammered.

The Minister for the Environment on national TV told the public of New Zealand he was not interested in controlling how the water is sold here and overseas. His comment that it takes 400 litre of water to make 100 litre of milk means to increase water would put the price of milk up. When did milk become more important than water?

This ideological thought of his shows me that his other brainstorm of making 90 per cent of our waterways swimmable in the next 22 years are nothing more than the ramblings of a human that takes nothing seriously and has the Ord asity to pull the wool over our eyes.

Do my fellow Kiwis fell the same way? I would like to think so. If we continuously put the economy on a pedestal and ignore common sense then your children and grandchildren will suffer without doubt. Those childhood memories of our own growing up and the happiness and freedom of yesteryear is fast becoming a swamp of waste.

How can the Prime Minister tell us that he cannot afford something one minute then entertain the idea of tax cuts. Where are the media? Where are the tough questions? The sensible, truthful reporting they advertise that their so good at. Where is the common sense of it all?
