Australia's economy is teetering on the brink of collapse.

Whether you choose to believe that or not is your choice.

The reality the mining boom is hiding a set of fundamental indicators which are very poor on the whole.

It is not faring anywhere near as good as people would have you believe.

I think we all know that mining is growing a lot faster than everything else actually doochebag!!

Cheesy

I didn't say that my insane friend.
I said the mining boom is masking an otherwise not particularly pretty picture for Australia.

Yes and in particular WA. But then again crap economics does not worry you look at your homeland in the Uass, it is doing so well and has been for a long time now. How long before the world realises that the US debt is so large and the government and people so conceited that the debt will never be repaid and they turn their backs on the Uass to be the next great third world under the patronage of China.

The USA is not my homeland. It is where I currently work and live.
I don't have intentions to be in the US for the rest of my life.

Anyway that has nothing to do with this topic whatsoever.

In the USA I just enjoy paying lower tax and having a decent cost of living at much cheaper cost right now.
It serves its purpose for me right now.

No you are confused, i know you like to claim to belong here but we don't want you, you make yourself clear about how much you masturbate over the wonderful Uass so stay there.

How does it not matter. I love this ignorant simplicity, especially from people who claim to be such big time exec's in finance. Yes our economy is shallow and ridding on mining at the moment. There are a range of issues there such as the dollar being so high is killing industries like tourism and what little is left of manufacturing. The buy a degree and visa program that Howard ran was caught out and with the dollar are now not cheap, particularly if the back door is not going to be left open for you. Agriculture is just making a comeback. We need to work at a future economy in tech, alternative energy specialties and the like but that too is not working with the nay sayers in the background that should know better.

Never mind your cheaper tax, if you fell out of work there you would come running home to aus where medicare would be free and the PBS would keep your prescriptions cheep never mind that the education is free for your kids and the safety net will make sure you don't starve. Don't kid yourself.

you are mostly correct although not quite a bad as you paint it. the mining industry is masking a lot of problems but the country is still in essentially good economic health especially by comparison with the prevailing gloabl status. But it is typical of labor to attack the are that is really pushing the economy along. true politics of envy.

It is not faring anywhere near as good as people would have you believe.

Yet EVERY indicator proves you wrong.

Do you include the construction industry in those indicators?
Have a look at them.
I was chatting to a guy the other day who works in construction in Sydney and he painted a frightening picture of what they are going through.

Companies are pricing $0 to get the contracts and trying to make money on the materials.
Why?
Because there is zero building going on in the large scale, so the big companies are pushing into the middle and lower markets.
Which in turn is pushing the self contractors out and to the wall.
He told me in Melbourne a sub-contractor is going bust every 3 days where he works.
He said traditional companies like Pilkington etc are getting arse-raped by the Chinese companies on price and all of the stuff is being imported now and not made.

But hey mate, you just pretend everything is all fine.
No skin off my nose, I am just telling you don't fall for the propaganda.

That is not based on any statistic, but on your mates personal experience .. i doubt his experience is an indicator used by the economists in Canberra ... In my part of the world I stuggle to find tradesmen to even show up because they are that busy ... but again, thats my personal experience and not a reflection of the austrlian economy....

The building industry in Sydney has been a cut throat game that is on it's knees since i was a kid. Sydney is a master disaster and with Fatty O'Barrell at the helm will not improve. He does not want another airport he would rather give that business to someone else. He is doing nothing and has not the guts to decentralise the government and infrastructure to help the rest of the state progress.

Yea, good luck with that. Your assertion Obama would be kicked out of office are about as accurate as your assessment the Australian economy is in bad shape.

It isn't my mate you clown.

It's a guy who is a director at a building company that is in every state.
I had never met him before he sat next to me on the plane.

The commercial construction industry in Australia is not in good shape.

I don't give a rats arse if he's your mate or not ...maybe he's just a crap director? maybe a comment made on a plane by some yobbo you don't know isn't a real good indicator of anything ... maybe he was just having a whine to some stranger on a plane ... the fact that you continually put up a comment by some stranger you met on a plane as an economic indicator does your credibility no favors

If the Republicans stop p*ssing in each other's pockets and start attacking him and his hated healthcare plan - then he will lose.

Romney will start as the favourite.
I hope he wins for all of our sakes.

I don't vote. I merely am entitled to an opinion as a taxpayer. But yes, I will be relying on the intelligence of the American people.

He makes it up as he goes along. The last time I read he claimed he voted in Britain. A lot of people dont even believe he lives in the USA and is just full of sh it, I'm still not certain of that though.
