No, just a realist. I would be extremely happy for the $300+ million to be spent on pensioners for things THEY NEED.
Perhaps you subscribe to the core inflation figures the government feeds us. The rest of us living in the REAL world, know that
headline inflation has pensioners on struggle street big time because food cost and energy bills have hit them extremely hard.
Pensioners NEED relief today and we should not insult them by wasting tax dollars on gadgets instead of helping them maintain a decent standard of living. Think about that next time you are munching on your prime steak, watching your HDTV.
I guess you would give a hungary child a new Xbox instead of a few decent meals....
And by the way, you have totally missed the governments agenda with this scheme..... it isn't about HDTV....
