What happens in a better-managed economy
It is quite a shock to read the huge contrast what is happening in a better-managed economy. This is from the Spectator blog.
Meanwhile in Singapore, the government- which has announced a stimulus plan based on subsidies for increasing training by the labor force- which will be paid for by tapping into the surpluses run up during the fat years- announced today a reduction in the pay of top civil servants and politicians to reflect the economic downturn. Basically when the economy is hot, they get higher pay and bonuses, when it's not, they get lower pay.Read it and weep.
