Government Roulette

For the past couple of months all the government seems to be saying is that to now cut now will lead to greater financial trouble down the line. Whereas the opposition is saying that to cut too much and too fast will lead to greater financial trouble down the line. Both sides bring out facts and figures to support their arguments, they bring in experts and financial institutions to back their claims, they quote historical precedents to prove they are right. The thing is they don't know, it's not a sure thing by any measure they are both right and wrong at the same time and it could go ethier way at the moment.

Mr. Blue and Mr. Red walk into a casino (Mr. Blue is obviously accompanied by his girlfriend the beautiful miss Yellow) and they decide that they are going to play roulette. Mr. Blue wants to put all his chips on black while Mr. Red wants to put it all on red, they both are sure sure that they are going to be right but in reality it's all up to chance and the only thing the winner is going to get is bragging rights at the next election.

This might just be me being ignorant. What do you guys think?
