Our finance, our Mps and us

Our outspoken FM is very busy mending the awful state of economy inherited from the AL. We the common people don't understand much about economy; whenever a new government comes it always takes a fragile economy from the prior, while the outgoing FM says economy was in the fast lane when he was in office.

Our present FM has done a lot, he has imposed new taxes, increased taxes, extended the tax net, cut the interest rates. We the common people are getting less money, but paying more and more every day. We don't know if the economy has become stronger at all or to what extent, but we sure know our tax money is being used for increasing the perks of the MPs.
