I got very angry this morning when I read about increasing the pensions and income support for poor families to "boost the economy". (I mean, the government thinks it's alright for the poor to struggle when the economy is healthy, but then we use them as economic fodder when things go pear shaped? Jeez!) I was so angry I got tears in my eyes. So Ella asked me why I was so upset.
I thought for a while and then came up with: "The bosses of the country only care about the poor people when they can make the rich people richer."
"Ah", she said and went back to watching ABC Kids.
