The Bank is currently running a loss of about 20-50 points per nweek.  I
see no sign of this changing in the near future unless something is done
to get points back from the wealthier players.  All it would take just now
is a couple of unlucky nweeks where a lot of proposals pass and the award
is high and The Bank would be broke again.  And the situation is getting
worse.

Oh dear i feel like a right-wing deficit-paranoid Tory finance minister.

We just put taxes up... but we'll reduce spending too.  and give tax
breaks to the wealthy office-holders. ;-p
