If they don't stop increasing taxes and squandering money on their pet projects, then Scotland's economy will only continue to lag behind the rest of the UK.
Scots will be concerned that dozens of taxpayer-funded devices have been lost or stolen in such a short space of time.
Their economic approach has the country stuck in a dangerous doom loop of ever-increasing taxes and low growth, which is resulting in far less tax revenue being collected than expected.
John Swinney and his ministerial colleagues need to accept their approach is going to mean more pain for Scots in the coming years, through more tax rises or spending cuts or both.
