It's a no-win situation really. As he mentioned actually fixing the economy means not wiping people's laurel cushioned arses and forcing them to actually do things themselves instead of relying on the public sector to look after them.
In the case of areas heavily dependent on public sector employment it means a painful, but extremely necessary transition to more productive private sector enterprise. Doable with the right incentives but not pleasant.
Better this gets done though than the next generation pick up the tab. Of course if we get Socialist Spendthrift Mk 2 at some point the cycle repeats again, so what can you do?

Probably get brushed off and ignored. Hope I'm wrong though.

Good to see that Nate Silver of the excellent FiveThirtyEight election projection website is
paying our election some attention. Good grief the alliteration there was awesome.
Worth paying attention to this guy, his projections tend to be the best you'll find anywhere - he got the US Presidential election near as damnit spot on.
