Anyways, feel free to set good examples for your kids and call me pathetic and gutless. Tell your kids about how you felt better calling a random person a name because they happened to not agree with your stance.

So what do these consultants do that is a waste of time? Are you going to increase the size of the public service to compensate? It would be tough to say we go no value for the 10 billion so what services of the government get cut with that statement?
And are you spending that money elsewhere in terms of tax cuts or are we cutting spending during a recession to reduce the deficit which we know makes recessions worse?
I agree in general with the concept of reducing contracted labour and instead bringing that expertise in house where it is required but you can’t just say 10 billion in savings without saying what you cut.
