I love the way everyone seem to understand all economics especially when it in the billions...
why they are wasted on here I will never know Mr Swan has surely read of these experts on all govt issues.. and who would make the best budget..
figures are just that to me unless they happen to be in my bank account..
figures produced for our benefit I am even more sceptical about..
however WASTE IS WASTE IS WASTE never to be returned... sorry thats what bothers me more than anything..
If you don't follow economics you won't get them so fair enough Cods, but the waste is an issue. I don't see the waste at the moment, all the stupid money and waste around Rudds stimulas has been done. Those cash hand outs were dumb and the mistakes states made with the BER money have been punished with the wasters in, NSW, Vic and QLD all gone. You may note WA did very well with the BER money. Batts was the big disaster because it cost as much to clean up the incompetence of the States as it did to install them. The mistake was trusting states with money and giving them responsibility. Howard never did and i thought he was wrong but now i understand. States are useless and expensive.
The waste is still there. Borrowing $100m a day with no plan to pay it back, Set top boxes installed for $350 when you can buy them at a quarter of that price at Harvey Norman, the NBN costs continue to blow out, the illegal immigrants have gone from costing us about $100m a year to more than $1bn. The list, sadly but not unexpectedly, goes on and on with this incompetent, corrupt, disfunctional Labor government.
propping up a dying car industry!!! I give it another 3 years if that??..
yes its the constant borrowing that abhors me.
what do we have to show for almost 5 years????..
except debt debt and more debt..
does anyone trust dodgy figures anymore??..
the C anberra hospital has just been caught out fudging the figures in triage...its been going on for two years probably longer..
do you trust any of it???.. blowed if I do
they spend more time on hiding the failures than we will ever know about.
