While I agree that the moment you mention two-tier it gets peoples backs up, I can see the validity. The problem from here is that people tend to think that there is not as much wastefulness in a private corporation...I've worked for some large ones, and the waste was incredible!
The budget being delivered right now is the usual shell game with peoples money; I don't say this based on the budget itself because I haven't seen it yet. But when you get down to it, there is only so much money to go around and when there are spending announcements or tax cuts the money is coming from somewhere else.
Regardless, its rather pathetic that social programs have been at the top of peoples list for as long as I seem to remember. They stay there because there are no real credible solutions enacted by any either of the governing parties!
