Slashing Government Spending = only spending $3 billion that you don’t have, instead of $5 billion that you don’t have. Isn’t being in gubmint and printing baseless currency fun?

If they could only lock down some more and keep out tourists...

There are a lot of places that locked down to support the Scamdemic and are not going to recover.

I now see more desperate ads for tourism in places that went full lockdown. Sorry, no refunds.

Unexpectedly!

Wait a minute. Wasn’t New Zealand the destination for the “Masters of the Universe” after they leave the rest of the world as a smoldering pile of ash?

What happened?

They should tax every billionaire bunker down there to make up the difference.

To date, over 4,000 people have lost their jobs as a result, with more expected. ACT Leader and Minister for Regulation David Seymour has previously indicated the total could reach 7,500.

But the reduction in expenditure isn’t enough to balance a sharp fall in the tax take from an economy officially in recession.

Well duh. If they fired 4,000 people, that's 4,000 taxpayers no longer paying taxes! And at bloated gov't salaries, I bet they were all in mid-upper tax brackets too!

Who’d a thunk that destroying your economy with lockdowns and Nazi BS would do so much harm…
