Stop Me If I'm Borun

Watching Sunrise this morning was an eye-opener. When asked whether we were living in a fool's paradise while the rest of the world teetered on the brink of a recession, the Labor response was the usual trite null statement that we were insulated from the worst scenarios. However, a grenade was unwittingly lobed into the sermon when we were informed that the best option was for Australia's national savings level to be increased by having the hoi polloi put more into superannuation.

I listened dumbfounded to this nonsense because 10 November 2011 saw $30 Billion wiped off the value of our Share market, which is where our super funds managers invest our super dollars. My question was: "Why would anyone willingly and purposely invest in super when the monies would most likely disappear with the next euro-domino to fall?"

It seems that I would have more fun with my money by just burning it instead of helplessly and haplessly watching it be ****ed down the toilet by some cocaine-driven twenty-something spotty-faced broker.

I can only weep for our future under the stewardship of our current leadership and, for that matter, any alternative future leadership.
