I didn't like they way they compared us to the British saying that they survive on less but the gm's didn't take into account that the Brit's aren't using the euro and things are cheaper there then here. I hate this government
Keeneland: Great idea but when they know its only a short term thing it would not be a punishment.
And they'd probably give the money to charity to show how magnanamous they are. Besides it would need to be indefinately to wear down their morale and then watch them try to motivate themselves.

I wouldnt really mean it as a punishment but more of an understanding of the reality of peoples lives and in order to deserve their position they should live for a while like most of the ordinary people do because they seem to have no understanding of what life is like for people on the ground

I totally agree. As i said in another post Politicians will NEVER know wht working class life is like. They bang on how they struggled through college and know hardship.....If they had to raise a family on welfare in college i would believe them but having to buy cheap beer is not struggling. Posh and rich people will always run the country cause they can....they have not a clue about normal life.
nitak: That way they know exactly what they are talking about, i bet they would soon change their tunes

Surely you could not expect them to also pay for their own fire stuff and heating oil? Do you honestly think that they could afford hotel rooms and booze, room service etc.? Next thing you would expect them to pay a mortgage and stuff that ordinary people have to do? Surely you jest

imagine if harney had to blow dry her own mullet every day or if biffo had no one to hoist his massive yfronts onto him If they start comparing our social welfare to europe then they should beware, maybe we could be like the french and have a revolution and bring out the guillotine again
