So long 'green shoots'; hello 'spending cuts.' The new buzz phrase.
The Herald: The money hole
With a £300m shortfall in budgets, Scottish public spending faces huge cuts, so how uncertain will the future be for nurses, teachers and policemen?

I've been to a few councils, and most of the office staff is just doing nothing. Main duty is to browse the Internet or chat with others. This is where our Council Tax is going.

@ Devo, this whole "nurses, teachers and policemen" (and other useful people like prison officers, dog catchers, soldiers whatever) make up about one million public sector employees out of a total of eight million taxpayer funded jobs. Sure we also need a few town planners and tax collectors, and they all need back up staff, cooks, cleaners, accoutants, security, but to say that the public sector is "bloated" is a whild understatement.
