Going from bad to worse

Do you ever get the impression that the wheels have fallen off NZ Inc? Reading the Herald for the past week or so has certainly led me to that conclusion.

The economy is shuddering, with the dollar too high and interest rates heading off the clock, while taxes and myriad other Government charges rob us blind.

The Corrections Department is in chaos and there seems to be no end to its inability to get its act together.

Officers of the police force are either facing serious criminal charges or handing one another speeding tickets like confetti.
