			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was watching <a href="http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1059155">http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1059155</a> have a look at it first.<br />
So my opinion is that we could<br />
A. Cut jobs in the public sector<br />
B. Cut wages<br />
C. Do nothing<br />
Cutting jobs is the bad solution, no one should lose their job. Cutting wages means that we can let people keep their jobs the only problem is the unions dont like that. Doing nothing is the single dumbest plan. The government cant afford the amount of people they are supporting.<br />
We need to make tough choices to get though this recession. The unions are there to represent workers and I presume that all workers want first and foremost to keep their jobs so the views of ICTU President, Jack O&#8217;Connor are warped and wrong. He should really step down. </p>
