The economy is in great hands!

Good to see those conservative economic wizards have got things totally under control.

Let's see now; record current account deficit, record foreign debt (about 2.5 x what they inherited), rising interest rates, rising health insurance, a growth rate barely above recession levels, an economy running out of workers.....etc

Strange how none of this came up during the election campaign. Very strange.

I'll set the stop watch now for the usual MG rants; such as "we won, you lost, go suck lemons........" and the other brilliant logic he normally brings to debates like these.

would labor have done any better? Given their recent record with the economy, I think not.

DFC, you speculate.
Therefore you live in fantasy land.
Unfortunately, the rest of us live in the real world which seems to be crumbling atm for the average family.

BTW, I love lemons.

Collingwood, of course. OK. You love lemons. What do you like about lemons so much?

Sometimes I think love is just a biological urge. Other times LOVE seems like a spiritual quality. Love, unlike energy or matter, seems limitless. The melodramatic touch.

I'm going to really enjoy watching this country go down the shitter.

One of the funniest things of all will be hearing you all whinge like scalded pigs when you lose your homes.

See you all on the dole queue ... this going to be really hilarious.

GO THE INTEREST RATES !

GO THE FOREIGN DEBT !

... and it's all falling to bits ... GLORIOUSLY

Tell me about your likes and dislikes? Are you a student? Quite honestly, I wouldn't worry myself about that. What is your real name?

Alf, its funny how someone can say that he is going to enjoy our great Country go down the toilet, it shows how much you hate your own land. I thought you had some intellegence? Your comments just prove otherwise, to say you would be happy if our country goes down the toilet just because the Party you did vote for got well beaten at the last Election is just plain childish!

One bit of bad economic news brings all the lefties out very quickly doesnt it?

So quarter of a % up eh, well i think it has to go up another 10 and a half % to get where Alf's god Keating had interest rates.

And also lets remember that unemployment is at its lowest in over 20 years or do we waiting for the ALP to get in again and see that figure back up to 13%?

The grass is always greener isnt it?
