since we are on a vaguely political subject, on late debate last night it was clear that one of the TD's hadnt read the Fiscal Compact Treaty, saying that we have 20 years to get down to .05% current deficit/Mid-term GDP

this morning on newstalk Ruiari Quinn was at it as well, hadnt read the articles about how the commission will deal with states which breach their targets.

I mean its not as if its a big treaty, and its obivous these guys havent actually read it. Funny how nobody in the media is pulling them up on it.
