A card player who reneges would lose the game. If he or she continued to renege, he or she would be thrown out of the casino. This Government has reneged on so many promises on a daily basis that it should be thrown out. We all know that will not happen as the Progressive Democrats and Fianna Fáil will prop each other up for as long as it takes. Meanwhile, the increases of a few cent after inflation is all that people on social welfare can expect.
