The author reflects on the dangers of political promises, comparing the allure of such promises to the deceptive nature of a three-card trick, where voters are misled for short-term gain.
Drawing from personal experiences, the writer reminisces about the 1977 Fianna Fáil budget, which, despite promising voters 'goodies', left the nation struggling financially for two decades, illustrating the peril of chasing fleeting political rewards.
