Thats a good story.

I'm sure that made sense to you at the time.

Ooohhh

Quality response.

Another one.

You are on fire !! 

The problem with the Left is that they always add social advancement and social equality into everything.

They seem completely incapable of running policy on economic argument and cost/benefit analyses.

I hope you do realise that made absolutely no sense. Subconscious non-thinking? What?

Andrei.Hicks wrote on Dec 24^th, 2010 at 8:38am:



You know SO MUCH about money tell me one goverment that has ever done a cost benefit analyses on any money they spent.

A cost benefit analyses would look good if they done it on denfence wouldn't it.

I am sick of you liberals always saying the goverment should do a CBA all the time.

Agreed.  At the same time, too much analysis and planning will stifen and destroy every project we attempt because you can always find limitations in anything, and if you are going to be as prudent as what you suggest you'd never begin anything.

I agree not all politicans over the years have been totally illiterate but I'm pretty sure from 1996 to 2007 we had Howard...Abbott...Vanstone...Ruddock...Bishop...Downer...Hockey...Robb... 

So...between 1996 and 2007 was there ever a CBA done on national projects?

I don't have to do any research it all you liberals that is saying there should be a CBA done.

"I went to East Sydney TAFE and got my B.A.  (Bar Attendent)"

If you had the naos to consider if the expense was worth the reward, you did a form of CBA.  if you didn`t, you are a dunce.

Well anyone who can think for themselves is way ahead of the pack in regard to intelligence, or education, and the two of those have very little to do with each other.
Jack's crack about accountants was right for my generation, at my private catholic school, kids were "streamed" dependent upon their "abilities, good at humanities, the law, godd at sciences, medicine, good at nothing, accounting.

Because of this tradition in my school, I always struggled to stop myself immediately discounting all accountants as lacklustre drones, because a lot are actually very clever and decent people, but the reality is that any cretin can become one, as very little natural intelligence is required to fulfill their role.
In fact very many professions that people assume requires a high intelligence to get into, is not necessarily the case, and many average students can achieve whatever goal they set for themselves, if they are prepared to work for it.
The smartest guy at queensland university mows the lawn, because he is socially maladjusted and cannot use his naturally high IQ productively, so let's not get too caught up in who is smart and who is not.

Being kind, and being good is far more important than being smart, and if you can be all three, then you have truly made the best of your life.

Don't know about FOT, but a few around here are absolutely FOS. (Assuming FOT stands for Full Of Themselves)

So you did assess the viability (CBA) of the exercise.

Buzz, not everybody here has poor eyesight like you, or finds your Technicolor laden posts anything other than boring……so don’t keep shouting….there’s a good chap.

Buzz another one that can't or won't answer the question

What goverment has ever done a CBA

Notice if the liberals can't answer a question they have to attack you

True sprint.


Accountability has never been a good trait of the lefties.

As evident by Julia Gillard's instant refusal on any Cost Benefit Analysis for her policies. But isntantly demanding the same for any of the Liberals.

John S wrote on Dec 27^th, 2010 at 6:28am:




The Liberal party.
A CBA is a mandatory demand by Julia Gillard for any Liberal policy, yet Julia Gillard refuses to provide any for her own policies.
Why is that?

skippy. wrote on Dec 27^th, 2010 at 9:33am:




Did you look at the demands by Julia Gillard in August this year?
And did you see that the Liberal party released the CBA prior to the election?
And have you noticed that the ALP haven't released their CBA still?

John S wrote on Dec 27^th, 2010 at 10:41am:




No, the ALP wanted a CBA by "independant" (govt) authority and they got it. And then the ALP attacked the findings as being the god's gift.


Besides, we all know that govt figures are rubbery at best.
What have the lefties got to hide?
The ALP do have something to hide, that is blatantly obvious.

Why won't the ALP release the CBA findings on the NBN?

skippy. wrote on Dec 27^th, 2010 at 11:33am:



If you believe that the ALP could do the NBN for 43 bill, you are even sillier than I thought, which is quite an achievement.

if u r building a commercial enterprise - and the NBN is - then of COURSE you shoudl do a CBA! how hard is that??? the NBN is SUPPOSED to be profitable as it is the only way it can continue to run. it is not reasonable to expect the govt to forever subsidise the porn downloads of the average voter. it needs to be PROFITABLE which implies the planning shoudl include a CBA. honestly, buzz. what is your problem with doing the maths on it?

That`s airheaded hysteria skippy. We need roads, hospitals, industry, agriculture, education and a multitude of other services and infastructure far ahead of an NBN.  Problem for the tard Gov. is, these projects don`t buy the bogan vote like ratting the treasury for trinkets and bogan baubles does.

See pinky is a contortionsist as well.

The issue that I have, and have always had with the Left is that they always want to take people's money that have got on in life and give it to deadbeats and losers.

Why should I pay for other people?
Why should someone else get healthcare and pay in nothing for it?
Why should people be given housing and education out of my taxes when I am already paying for my own children to have theirs?

We have all struggled and made sacrifices in life, me included, I am from a working class ordinary background.
Yet did I bitch, moan and complain when things went against me?
No, neither should anyone.

"The trouble with Socialists, is that they are very good at spending other people's money"

We should all pay more in taxes to support deadbeats, losers and third world crap people right??
