Who's counting?

Well I am not at all sure who is counting. Perhaps some people can't count - and I am thinking here about Michael Cullen. We have veered between not counting $700 million or so from tax revenues, to not being able to afford the last lot of tax cuts because of KiwiSaver, to "significant" tax cuts.

Dr Cullen, the right honourable has not defined "significant." We have seen some pretty significant price rises; interest rates, petrol, food for example which has caused many of us to count and recount the dollars in our pay packets and count and recount our costs.
