Several of my future dinners in a farm outside of Houli.

Enjoy some delicious links...

"Yes, just what we need in the current era of stagnating economic growth: austerity in the form of slashed budgets."

The money that was cut was largely ridiculous things like "bonuses" paid to retired government employees, teachers, and soldiers. I mean, it's unbelievable--why would you get a bonus for not working?

If you want to provide stimulus, then provide stimulus. Don't sit around and make waisheng dominated slices of society marginally wealthier.
