Idris: We poor, save3. Nazri: We rich, SPEND3! (read: steal3!)

Nazri says RM 500,000 more for BN to spend in constituencies this year:
According to him the reason for the jump in parliamentary allocation is because there are extra funds in government coffers.
“It’s because we have extra money, so we give the allocation. The government is not in the business of keeping money. The government’s business is in spending money.”
Extra money?
Wasn’t this other guy going on about how we need to cut subsidies because the government is going bankrupt ala Greece?
I think bank accounts are fairly straightforward – they are either red or black.
I’m getting the feeling Idris Jala is closer to the truth (in assessing the situation, if not the causes), but his statements set the Umno cronies and contractors alarm bell’s ringing, which is why we are now seeing a completely different picture being painted.
Sometimes I think this government’s business is not in spending money, but in stealing it :P
