"New budget initiatives will cost the government $2 billion in the coming financial year, rising to $2.7 billion in 2008-09. In addition, the budget commits a further $1.3 billion in new capital spending, bringing the total over the forecast period to $4.2 billion ..."
New budget initiatives will cost the taxpayer $2 billion in the coming financial year alone. Total new theft required to pay for new bribes is forecast to be $4.2 billion over the forecast period, so we're really going to have to send the boys around ...
