Why we need a Latin American Economic Model for Ireland

Last Friday in Cork Brian Cowen said to the FF faithful "I'm putting the next generation ahead of the next general election.", its a shame he didn't have that brainwave 5 years ago when he was Minister of Finance, and put this idea across the cabinet table when Charlie McG was spreading the FF love like a dose of the clap in a Rio brothel! One is getting a little tired of FF breast beating! 

Now today SIPTU president Jack O'Connor has warned that the union will engage in a sustained industrial campaign if agreement cannot be reached on a new national recovery programme.

Which brings me to the successfully proven Latin American Economic Model.

1. You roll the tanks into town

2. Shoot the politicans

3. Hang the trade unionists

4. Put some guy with shades, a well fitting uniform, a chest a medals on all the stamps

5. Make sure the football stadium is ready for the kick-off of the league

With the Soccer team having a sniff at getting to the World Cup, is it any wonder that the army has been sent to Chad (I've seen the pictures and they are all wearing shades!)
