These people in government whose entire careers has been in government service, one kind or another, have no concept of the real world. Budget is only a word, supply and demand is only in text books, etc.
What sort of fools puts the prosperity and very survival in the hands of another country?…RATS and GERMANS…
They are no different than the academics and professors who are called "experts" and speak/write about their vast knowledge, which is detached from reality.
But none of that matters because none of them are held accountable by anyone. So it will continue.
