Resigned to our fate?

It seems like we have no power over anything. I was doing ok. Usual worries over money and the future etc then suddenly, global recession!

How is my flat suddenly worth less than it was a year ago? It seems hardly fair. What also seems a little unfair is that those responsible seem to go on without being punished. Steal £50 from petty cash and you can end up in real trouble. Lose billions through risky financial practice and nothing happens?

Hmm. Perhaps if all politican salaries were exactly the national average (updated every couple of months) they'd be keener. In fact while we are at it, the kids of politicans should have to go to the nearest state school to their house and they should only be able to use the NHS(no private care). I think there would be a lot more investment in the NHS and in state schools if this were the case.

Grrr.
