~~Tories planning to cut benefits and public service spending should surprise nobody.~~
Edit to add: Oh yeah, I forgot about the July Election and subsequent Labour government, whoops.
I guess if it really was Tories they’d have just done it and not apologetically forewarned of it.

Yeah I do find it funny that I see some people complain about the government’s handling of the economy. If they’re spending it incorrectly that’s one thing, but in terms of making money Ireland has been doing fantastic

More money more waste.
We need a national audit of public expenditures.
It’s all public information that can be accessed “easily”.

The UK has had a decade of austerity and has opposed all government investment in the economy for even longer.
The Irish government underinvests in infrastructure for sure but at least understands how to support industry.

I keep seeing all this about how we’re making way more in corporation tax than we expected, and that this is probably not going to last forever.
Can anyone explain that to me? How/why are we making so much, and why is that not likely to continue indefinitely as long as we don’t change anything?
What I’m gathering is that our surplus is kind of fake/artificial/unsustainable in some way. Like in this article they mention our “underlying deficit”.

At least the UK have a public transport network. It can be expensive but it functions well enough. We have a surplus but won’t invest in public transport.
