May I remind readers that Gordon (spit) Brown's standard answer to criticism was to state how much was being spent, rather than the effect that spending was having.
p.s. to the current generation of politicians, "effective" is spelt "elected". If it doesn't help get them elected, then it's not "effective" and will be sacrificed for something that does.
