Liberal or Labor? (4 Viewers)

Labor gets into power, takes the credit for being good economic managers and spends Australia into the ground

Liberal gets into power and spends a decade being brutally frugal and fixing it back into surplus

rinse and repeat

its all to do with the business cycle not who is in power.

if liberal was still in power it is very probable they would of followed suit with the rest of the world and spent that stimulus.

then labour would of been voted in the next time aka this year and started to repay the debt once the economy recovered which by the way doesn't look like its going to happen for a very very long time.

I'm sorry, but Liberals would not have wasted taxpayer dollars on stupid shit that they backflip on 6 months later, and then tax the hell out of our resource industries to pay for it

That's exactly how I see it too. Because $38m of taxpayer-funded advertising is for the good of the country and it's citizens right?

every government does stupid things, even a liberal government

you can't honestly believe that Australia under a liberal government wouldn't of followed suit with every other major government in the world and adopted Keynesian economic polices.

they would of been pressured to do so by economists, trade organisations, banks, businesses and lastly people

Billions of dollars for school halls and lunch areas? Billions of dollars being socialist and funding a retarded pink batts program?

i didn't say i supported it quite the contrary actually.

i was just stating what would of happened. though a Howard or Costello government would of spent the stimulus money wiser then that of the Rudd government however the point remains is that they would of spent it.

and your against stimulus spending?

 

[Rothbard]

As opposed to fucking up our economy

Abbott doesn't understand the economy at all.

Liberals are more likely to unshitbag us from the Ruddkip fuckstorm.

But they are also pretty much without values depending on what wins votes, much like Labor.

Their stimulus spending plan was less cash handouts and the like, but they still had a simulus plan.

They weren't going Austrian on it...

very very much so

 

[Rothbard]

Also both labor and the libs seem to have no intention to remove tariffs or import taxes.

Kwayera why do the Liberals seem to be revering to Howard era tactics?

Do you think it'll work and don't you think the Australian ppl have moved on since then?

if you can't/don't pay taxes you don't get a vote

I do pay taxes...

That's exactly how I see it too. Because $38m of taxpayer-funded advertising is for the good of the country and it's citizens right?

And also giving each state government Xm amount of money for laptops which we never use, only in IT class (which is where they are most appropriate)..

Tbh I didn't see the BER and batts programs as stimulus measures?

To be fair the libs don't have the funding juggernaut that is labour unions.

He pays taxes in the form of GST

my school and many other schools were given the laptops for use in every class + we use them at home.

but because our year shouldn't of even gotten them in the first place, we give them back after our HSC.
