Brighter future (still) just around the corner

Unemployment’s up, wages are flat, retail and export prices in freefall. Last week, the government didn’t get enough bids on its debt issue – usually it gets bids totaling 3 or 4 times what its issuing.

Last budget National promised 4% this year – it’s 1%. We’re in a second stall, threatening to turn into a double dip recession since National took office promising growth.

He sounds like a WW1 general, every year promising the boys will be home by Christmas.
