Three word budget: For battling billionaires.



With the release of the 2014 budget, the Australian government has shown yet again how out of touch with reality they are, and the depth of their selfish callousness and cruelty.

With big cuts to foreign aid, family payments, medicare and benefits, universities, pensions and hospitals, it seems that the only Australians who will benefit from these cuts are those who are wealthy, in perfect health and without dependents.

But, let's face it, the budget is almost exactly what we predicted from the government, isn't it? 
After all, these are the same morons who will spend $12b on fighter jets and an undisclosed, but also high figure to keep our precious borders free from those nasty asylum seekers who the media and uneducated bogans tell us are a threat to our way of life.  It's okay though.  With $7.5b cut from unnecessary foreign aid, a whole bunch of them will probably die before they reach our oh-so-sovereign borders anyway. 

Obviously the funds to help out our hard battling mining billionaires, and keep us free from the apparent filth of those seeking asylum need to come from somewhere, so why not effectively eliminate universal healthcare and cut funding to already underfunded hospitals, and universities? 

And let's not forget those freeloading pensioners!  How dare they expect handouts?  But that's all good too, because since rising the (aged) pension age to 70, a lot of them will drop off in numbers before they are able to reach their greedy hands out for freebies since not everybody works an office job and those working in manual labour jobs probably won't even make it to the age of 70.

The solution to these problems is simple though.

Don't be poor.
Don't get sick.
Don't be old.
Don't get educated.
Don't have a family.

I can honestly say, I am ashamed to be Australian these days.
