All of a sudden gloom appears to be the theme. It is very important from a media point of view because nothing sustains the chattering classes like misery. Systemic incompetence is so very good for the debate.
And there's been such a lot of it that it's impossible to call it a vicious circle because the virtue is that we've been forced to face the reality of big living.
Only now the cuts that are being heaped upon us are going to hit the very people who were powerless to stop the reason why they're being visited upon us.
As my little brain understands it, the banks had to be saved because they spent and spent without restraint. The taxes plugs the holes to save them because they're really important. And now the things that tax payers like - things like hospitals, decent rail services and local services like libraries all have to shut because the country can't afford them any more.
I have been reading around trying to find out what the 500,000 public service workers are going to do once they've lost their jobs.
And exactly how are they going to get some cash to live on since things like housing benefits are going to be cut.
I am sure an article will tell me in due course, perhaps the articles have already been written. I just need to surf the web to find it.
Of course once I've found it, Ill probably be quite gloomy.
