Fair enough

Although my main point remains, soldiers are f**ked over every day by defence cuts, yet we ask more from them and so are many others in different sectors. The big picture is that the country needs to generate more money. The money can be invested and spent on various sectors. Currently we have little money. The fundemental issue is to ask which party is most likely to be able to do get the country moving forward to create more wealth.
