Emotional innumeracy

One of the major problems that can be created by the borrowing of the present government is ‘emotional innumeracy', which would be reinforced by a Labour government. There sadly isn't a magic bullet to get people to accept that if we keep running up debts we will have to spend more money than our income on interest rates – eventually this will have a bad impact on the young as is evidenced in the dreadful unemployment levels among the young in countries like Spain and Italy. If we want to end up in a similar position then we won't have a problem with governments like Labour and National who show a remarkable ability to borrow and drive the young towards a state of emotional innumeracy. Of course it is well-known that local bodies in NZ are not much better – getting into debt seems to be a sport or hobby for most elected idiots in NZ. Good luck in September NZ.
