The Hypocrisy of what's affordable and what's not

The things that are unaffordable and the things that aren’t

$3 billion for a new hospital? Unaffordable. $3 billion for a new motorway? Now we’re talking.

As much as I dislike arguments that are this or the other type points, this is a valid one. If you are going to pull back somewhere, I'm not sure a hospital is the prudent or even politically right thing to do. It does look like they have been stuck with the previous governments inability to cost things properly and budget over runs. It also puts in to perspective the previous governments borrowing and spending with little accountability or anything of real substance to show for it. At one point borrowing a billion dollars a week. We really should have had two or three hospitals in the process already with that kind of money being burned through.
