Not a hot topic on here but something has to be said ... http://www.smh.com.au/comment/tony-abbo ... zrd9w.html

The Libs are killing the economy with their gloomy outlook alone.

Said it once and I say it again this mob is the biggest bunch of grubs that have ever drawn breath.
If you make under 40K you cop it in the clacker if you make over 200K you skate through free and easy.
If anyone thinks cutting Health and Education are good idea's I would like to hear why?

Not this time, they've scared people shitless with a draconian budget and everyone will stop spending.

As long as 5% have 95% of the wealth there is something wrong. Smashing the poor for more is a joke.

someone on 40K or less stands to be between 8% and 10% worse off as of July 1st Someone on 200K or more stands to be 0.2% worse off.
Not sure what you think all these small business's are going to survive on when nobody can afford to pay for goods and services.
Sure I agree with getting tough on those bludging off the system but I would hate to think how many on the bread line are going to fall under it.

Could only get half way through mike carlton's dribble before I switched off. Does anybody actually remember Rudd, Gillard, Rudd again and swannie promising a surpluse on every occasion, whilst they were loading the pockets of unions with our future fund and killing young blokes at the same time.

As they say, if you don't vote labor under the age of 30 you don't have a heart, if you vote labor over the age if 30, you don't have a brain.....

P.S - ghound, can you please post some qualitative analyses of your statistics because they don't seem to add up.

Looks like quite a few agree with Mike Carlton's dribble ... http://www.news.com.au/national/tens-of ... 6921811957

This govt will kill off far more people than Labor did.

The Great Aussie Rip off, I don't think so. The Libs aren't killing the economy they are trying to fix it. If nothing is done to peg back the massive debt that the Labor Party left us with we will all go down the poop pipe. We as a country have to lower this debt, to do this cuts need to be made. It takes a strong government to make the tough decisions. Do you remember the budget in 1996 a very tough budget, move the clock to 2006 and we had a surplus. Labor comes in spends all the money plus shitloads more. Libs back in and have to make the tough decisions to remove the debt.

Just looked at Matt's second link about the protests. The photos tell the story, all I can see is the typical leftie, tree hugging hold your hand out do nothings that caused this mess. Yeh, more funding for unemployed artists and 40 year old uni students who have never held a job.

The concept of national debt is fairly meaningless unless you have a sound knowledge of micro/macro economics (which I don't) so that you can consider debt in the context of infrastructure, national assets, international money markets and the nature of bank-orchestrated magic money making.

Thanks to the mind numbing greed of bankers we are stuck with a long term abuse of society's workers. The banks screw every cent (through outrageous credit contracts, stimulating cost of housing growth artificially, charges for nothing, ridiculous interest rates, etc etc) from punters struggling to keep their head above water, as well as determining the activities of our elected government.

With the active cooperation of government, banks are ensuring that every transaction made by us is made through a bank and once their hands are on our money those banks operate their robbery ruthlessly and with total impunity. They manipulate money markets in the manner of mafia crooks and on the odd occasion that their fraudulent behaviour is exposed (and the banks are in danger of collapse) who steps in to cover their ass? Our elected government. The same government that abandons the elderly, the disabled, the carers, young families and our war vets. That's upside down welfare. Those crying over what a handout mentality we have ought to ask who the vast majority of our "handouts" are actually going to and to what extent our government is obligated to support banks both fiscally and legislatively due to the bank-created myth that without banks the economy would collapse.

The majority of political decisions aren't made on the basis of election promises........nor are they made on the basis of sound social and economic policy.....they are made on the basis of the interests of the agencies and institutions that bankroll political campaigns. And at the top of this manipulative elite-serving heinous process..........are the BANKS.

May they rot in hell.

Yes, imagine if just 25% of all Australia's mortgage interest payments were freed up to be spent on other things, like holidays, cars, motorbikes, health, education ... there would be a boom.

Hey c9h14n

Read it a few times and saw it on TV. I think it was John Hewitson telling the story on th eABC the other night.
I will try to dig it up when I get a chance. I am at work busting a gut trying to get my wage up to the 200K free and easy sector.
Throwing out tree hugger bullshyte is typical of a lefty wanker.
Facts are Health, Education, the unemployed and pensioners are the big losers in this budget. Scoff all you want and throw lines in about handouts to bludgers. Unfortunatley there are a lot more hard working people than bludgers that can't afford the financial pain about to be inflicted. Typically of the left all they can say is it doesn't affect me so it doesn't matter.
c9h14n what do you do for a job? If you don't mind me asking?

Ghound
