What I find unacceptable is the amount of money squandered by politicians on pet projects with little or no intrinsic value to taxpayers. <br /><br />The Tax Payers Alliance estimates that over £100 billion is spent on quangos. What do these bodies do apart from shuffling bits of paper around? Gordon Brown has hugely expanded the client state by creating hundreds of thousands of non jobs, but is bankrupting the country in the process.Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269067397168966943.post-48977238280715043682009-08-03T12:51:37.704+01:002009-08-03T12:51:37.704+01:00Damn, I'd forgotten about the tax.
