Abbott & Costello : financial masterminds, everyone bow down?

### Its funny how these guys try to promote themselves as financial masterminds, the liberals will manage the economy and save everyone of us just trust us
" now like ahhh" - "nah nah nah" (tony abbotts classic phrases every time he is about to lie/well speak in general especially to the media)
in case anyone dosent know how abbott lost the last election
a blindfolded & cuffed kangaroo could have beaten julia gillard in the election
the independents were all and ready to side with abbott & the coalition UNTIL oh
Independent MP revealed Treasury had found an error of between $7 billion and $11 billion in the Coalition's costings, thats right they cant even get their basic accounting accurate & we are supposed to trust them with the economy
Tony Windsor, one of the three Independents who asked for the costings, has described it as "a black hole''
Abbott even offered a 1 billion dollar "bribe/offer" to Andrew wilkie to get his support to Tasmania for a hospital

australia is going to be the laughing stock of the world when abbott wins and has to speak to other world leaders, i know politics is boring to listen to people but abbott is painfully amusing
he is always to lazy to read the required documents/reports then gets caught out and then continues to lie about it
a usual abbott interview rolls like an actor playing the part of abbott taking the piss "well well like no well" "now like ahh" & when the interviewer catches him in more lies hes like " nah nah nah" sounding just like a 6 year old kid bullcrapping
and when he can longer handle the questions he walks off (away from the cameras) like a gutless little b1tch, seriously he walks away so many times its pathetic

### costello is a complete joke
someone please tell me to whom did he sell 2/3 rds of our gold to in 1 day?
was costello just purely an incompetent idiot to sell at $300 an ounce or was it a dodgy deal that he signed off on where he received lots of money under the table???
a 7-10 billion dollar loss/ripoff (dependent on when it could have been sold)
he sold our gold for 2 billion stating " gold no longer plays a significant role in the international financial system" (peter costello - 1997)

 

Nice innuendo ridden piece of high school literature winkstrap. You didn't care to mention Mr Swan's credentials financially. Surplus into deficit, debt free into debt ridden, non participating mining and carbon taxes, oh the list goes on. Granted Abbott is not my fist choice for PM, but I would put the likes of Emerson and Joyce ahead of the current shambles we have

 

Really? I have never heard either of them say anything like this, never heard either of them call them selves financial masterminds and never heard either of them claim that they will save every one if us. So basically your second post on this forum is for some reason a bunch of stuff that you have simply made up. I would say that you have simply joined this forum to post political s*#t for some reason.

 

The worst part about that post is that even if it were an accurate portrayal of what the Liberals have to offer as government they are still light years ahead of Labor.

 

Swan's qualifications -

BA(Hons) (Qld).
Lecturer, Queensland Institute of Technology 1976-77, 1981-82 and 1985-88.
Policy analyst, Office of Youth Affairs 1978.
Adviser to the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. WG Hayden, MP 1978-80; Special Ministers of State, the Hon. MJ Young, MP and the Hon. KC Beazley, MP 1983; and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon. WG Hayden, MP 1984.
Party official (see Party positions above).
Adviser 1996-98.

Clearly the man for managing the economy with s such a background of experience. LoL!

They just churn them through the labour machine and give them positions their not qualified for

 

Bachelor of Arts, the classic path into a lifelong pursuit of the public purse

 

The Libs don't promote themselves as financial masterminds.
It just happens that, by default, anyone who is compared against the ALP incompetence automatically gains the credibility of a financial mastermind.

 

I liked Andrew Bolt's comment this morning - "The Labor government has managed to run out of money during a mining boom".

 

BigAD (or whichever moron you are) - do us all a favour and go play in the traffic!
It's @$$w1pe$ like you who have are destroying our country.

 

I can see this post turning into a SH.. fight..The reds and blues pissing in each others pockets.


Abbott and Gillard bring no statesman like Quality to Australian politics,

Meanwhile Turnbull and Rudd, the peoples choices sit in the naughty boys corner.

Ain't no politician in this country worthy of my vote.

Couldn't piss on them if they were on fire :/

 

They might well be fools but isn't that what democracy is all about.

yeh well the "Peoples' Choice" are still cr@p choices!

Rudd = just another commie whose policies will lead to higher unemployment, more welfare sucking parasites and more of hard working people's assets stolen by the government.

Turnbull is a frontman for Goldman Sachs - hence his support for a carbon trading scheme.
This alone makes me despise him.

 

Highlights one of the problems with representative democracy hey?

(But still worst system except for the others that have been tried, and all that )

 

Vote Liberal Democratic Party ... DOWN WITH SOCIALISM and the POLICE STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Is it to late to sign up and run as a member?

Nah! On second thoughts probably too expensive and (as I'm back in Canberra for the next few months) too frickin cold to be handing out pamphlets to the local socialista's. Why the heck did I move south for the winter? Should've stayed in QLD :lol:

 

Here's the thing. Central planning doesn't work. Right? We all know that.

So what do the government do? Encourage everyone to get in debt, get inflation started and have a credit boom. Times are good, people are happy. Then eventually the debt mountain gets too high and the economy starts to stagnate.

The treasurer during the boom looks like a genius, the one during the downturn looks like an idiot. The truth is the treasurer is always incompetent because central planning DOES NOT WORK.

What people are really saying when they say they want someone good, is that they want someone who is going to encourage people into getting into vast amounts of debt.

So the next time you see your local candidate and they are talking about improving the economy, ask them one simple question

"Really? So how exactly are you going to get everyone to take on as much debt as possible?"

Because it's either that or take a completely hands off approach and let the economy run itself and thereby massively reduce govt.

 

Reminded me of an article I spotted this morning ...

But I reckon you're wrong Hawkeye. Central planning works a treat ... for the central planners. They get to swan around (hehe) the globe, living large on a salary they would have no hope getting in the private sector, getting sweet-heart investment deals, privileges upon their privileges, astounding retirement benefits, ridiculous consulting opportunities post-politics for all the favours they dispensed, ... etc., etc.

How else could they achieve such things if it wasn't for central planning?

Here's to the central planners! May their noses forever be buried in the trough of the public purse.
