not that this is exactly an unbiased view.

But can anyone else smell the sheer desperation in the posts of people who simply cannot countenance the massacre coming their way in the coming election?

not only was the GFC a product of 'greed is good' but now we have to contend with the 'debt is good, debt is great, can we have some more please' argument from the morons that brought us the GFC in the first place. Debt is a sometimes necessity but it is always an evil that needs to be paid back in good times. But the logic in labor circles is that as long as we have less debt that countries that are on the verge of bankruptcy, it is okay.  It is that kind of idiocy that lead to these countries becoming insolvent in the first place.

5 years ago labor lamblasted Howard because private individuals had record debt and government had none. in a fit of stupidity that only labor could come up with, private individuals have reduced personal debt by record amounts having seen what the GFC affects those in debt only to see the govt go into massive debt in record time and then defend it as GOOD. not even 'neceessary' but GOOD.

another reason why joe voter who has gone without to reduced debt looks at a debt-addicted labor govt and questions their integrity and competence.

Quite simply put, you are deluded.  The article in no way suggests that debt is good. What it suggests is that given  economic climate as a result of the GFC in 2008, taking on debt to support the economy was a necessity.  And what it suggests is that by no means should we never repay debt, but the current economic climate puts us in a position where we are better off then many others, with our debt levels. And, should not be putting such a hysteria on it as Abbott and the likes of you suggest. Further, what has been suggested is that we have a fiscal problem as a result of MIDDLE CLASS WEALTHFARE brought on by the imbeciles like Howard, who did not see the long term problem, but rather a short term opportunity to win votes.

Read properly next time.


That's a pretty decent synopsis.



Agreed. In Spades.


except who is going to pay off this debt, unemployment boy? YOU? no. your contribution will be adding to the debt from your dole and then whining about it.


And your true thoughts have just been shown in all their glory.

Oh I read it quite fine. I was reading the bulk of ti while you were reading the fine print. and if howards welfare was excessive then labor can remove it - but hasnt. but i always love the shiny hypocrisy of 'howard took money from the poor' and 'howard gave excessive welfare (to the poor)'

it is always good for a mocking laugh.

I think that situation could be upsetting because it takes away from labor rhetoric. Tell a lie long enough is labors new motto.


whats the lie being told in the article? Or did you  just feel the necessity to open your mouth?

If I read the fine print and you read the bulk then how coudl you have gotten so much of it so wrong in your initial reply????  As for Howard, the whole point of many of his middle class wealthfare had NOTHING to do with the poor, hence why it is quite clear we've now become a very needy nation who ACTUALLY believe that being on a middle income is classified as being poor.


and in 5 years this supposed great evil didn't appear on Rudd/Gllard's horizon? how convenient.

i have had enough of Kat pretty much in every post saying he wants more dole. it gets old after a while and it is particularly galling to hear people (like imfullofit) talking about such matters when they are solely on the taking side of the equation.

well, unfortunately given the very low level of information that is provided to the vast majority of the electorate, once the genie was let out it is almost impossible to reign it back in without being fatally wounded.  Gillard and Rudd are weaklings, as are all politicians in the current Australian arena. Hence why they'll meddle around the sides, as opposed to going in strong and actually doign real welfare reform. And that's another reason why a Tony government is just going to be a blimp in history that either 1) Kept things relatively the same as they are today or 2) caused some damage, but were so stupid that it was quite easy to repair.

well guess what, I was on the taking side for around 3 months whilst completing my uni studies. And that's about it. And I can tell you, many years after ever receiving a smidgen of welfare, that IT NEEDS TO BE INCREASED for those WHO NEED IT and removed for those who get it as a bonus.

most of us have been in the same situation as well but didnt spend years whining about it. and i did my university with ZERO govt support. no allowances, no welfare at all.
