The article is brilliant. Our leaders have thrown fiscal prudence to the wind for electoral gain. They are not guided by the public interest but personal gain. As for the media, they accuse politicians who seek to buck this trend as cruel and austere penny-pinchers.

Thanks for this piece. A worthwhile read. Interesting idea that currency is a reflection of our culture and character. It reminds me that a problem with politics is that it incents promoting what's popular over what's principled. It's easier to offer things than it is to encourage responsibility.
