In a nutshell, Graham is arguing that the previous administration made promises that it couldn't deliver, committed as much money up front as possible to limit the scope that any incoming administration could spend on, and failed to address the future savings that the current round of government cutbacks will force upon the authority.
It is fair comment in the knockabout world of politics, but from an officer and auditor point of view it doesn't matter WHO takes the decisions as long as they are taken. It's just a case of which party takes the flak!
The budget will be balanced one way or another, you can be sure of that!
