   Adding another digit doesn't improve anything if it's incorrect.  And shooting

   Indeed.  In Scotland, the government is actually considering throwing money   
   around to produce pointless jobs to fit insulation into houses.   
      
   1) You don't create jobs for the sake of it, you might as well just hand that   
   money to those workers.   
      
   2) We've already got insulation from the last round of tax wasting.   
      
   3) If you want insulation, pay for it yourself.
