    NAct: Better ‘managers’ of the economy – Yeah Right! Govt by the sorted, for the sorted.

    How much worse is the economy than two years ago? [Stuff, 23 Sept 2025]
    [comment]
    National are using self-inflicted budget problems to justify undermining long-term state capability.

    Manufacturing an imaginary crisis is always good cover for shrinking the state and opening up opportunities for private capital to swoop in and pick over the carcass.

    The cool thing is, you can make the books worse by handing out tax cuts to those who least need it, then point at the figures in shock and alarm, claiming 'there is no alternative!' but to cut services intended to support low and middle income earners in response.

    Everything is going to plan.
