There's no such thing as a free lunch. Someone has to pay for it. Example: me, the tax payer. If you can't afford to feed your kids, don't have them.


Do you have children?

You do realize the Four Rivers Project is over, done, dead?


If it was done with borrowed money then it's far from over, done or dead.

No.

I like children. However, I prefer the freedom of not having children.

Taxation is legalized theft.

Double the (stupidly/irresponsibly) cheap price of soju just as they did to fags. The amount of tax this will bring in will be astounding. Fags are now 4500 a pack which is still ludicrously cheap compared to many other countries, some outside the OECD. I wonder how many other countries sell a bottle of hard booze (C20%abv) for less than a bus ride? In a counrty that allows "i was drunk" as a mitigating factor for breaking the law surely slightly higher priced hard booze will reduce the amount some drink, lower the lewd/illegal acts committed following drinking and raise taxes to pay for essential services.

China and Korea and other countries sure were using this downturn as an excuse to spend like crazy. America was going down that route too. But a Republican vitory of sorts in 2010 slowed those plans down, as bad as their debt situation is. (Now, these other countries are beginning to emerge in much worse shape.)

The construction is done.....the interest payments, maintenance, and repairs? Not so much.
