Yes, hysterically so, as I feel I am vastly overpaid and need to be brought down to earth.
Or, in the real world, where really dumb questions like that don't get asked, but someone feels the need to do so anyway, I would state that I don't believe anyone would be happy to have outgoings rising (utilities, council tax, food, fuel, etc) due to things without my control, whilst income remains static. However, I understand that money has to be created to be distributed, and if that money isn't there, it can't be distributed.
Therefore, I accept that my pay will be frozen, that my outgoings will have to reduce (apart from those I have no control over) - anyone who thinks otherwise is living in a fool's paradise (imho). One (or the country) can't spend what it doesn't have (well, it can, but then Mr Default comes to visit, which is not a good thing).

I don't remember anyone saying that - does anyone else?
