From Bluematter. Funny, and hits home. The joke is that most of the "good" items (foreign direct investment, affordable houses) necessarily come with the "bad" stuff (current account deficit, falling house prices) at the same time. But you rarely hear this (not so subtle) subtlety explained in articles/TV pieces.
