In Ireland, before every election, we have what’s called a “giveaway budget”, where whoever is in government will give a bunch of random discounts and supports on stuff like electricity and college fees. They’re supposed to make the government more popular before the election. They don’t do anything to make economic conditions better and they’re a pathetic attempt to make people like the government.

It’s pure cynical politics, where for a month the government pretends to care. The USA can’t even do that. They just let people in their country die, because they’re spending all their money and time killing people abroad
