Voters punish those who tell the whole truth : Comments

By Graham Young, published 27/5/2014

Like the last, this parliament looks as though it will be obsessed by who lied, and didn't, and just what constitutes a lie.

Oh, but they are, runner...

"I am still wondering why people who break wedding vows (promises) are not called liars..."

Usually very loudly and oftentimes very publicly by the (ex)spouses to whom the vows were made.

But we are fortunate in Australia to enjoy both the legal invention of a 'no-fault' divorce as well as its political comparison where a government looses office at an election - when there is definitely fault attributed.

Sorry WmTrevor, I can't agree with that.

It was only after the introduction of the 'no-fault' divorce, that we got the situation that the lady who runs away with the milkman can get the bloke chucked out of the house so she can live in it with the milkman. The bloke will get lumbered with feeding the milkman as well, if there were any kids.

Prior to this, she would have had to live with the cost of her decision.

Doesn't that show you you were not looking after your escapee good enough, and this is why it ran away with the milkman. Justice was served on the offending party.

Ponzi finance..will not continue forever.

(Inflation was created..via fractional reserve banking
debasing coinage..or instead of the usual..printing paper.)





Because of government greed,..its need for power over people, and every politician’s desire to meddle and spend,.*government granted bankers the power to create*..and control currency,..[monetize debt, fix interest rates,/EXCHANGE-AND INTREST RATES..and so much more.

Central Banking was born...In return government could spend in excess,..borrow from bankers,..members of the legislature collected handsomely from the banking community,..national debts expanded, and interest expense paid..on those debts grew..*to outrageous levels.

Politicians,..their friends,..favored industries,
PRIVATE TAXFREE-TRUSTS,,and bankers won,..while most others lost.

From a brilliant essay by Jeff Nielson:..(Inflation was created via fractional reserve banking.instead of the usual debasing..OF/printing paper...BUT EFFECTIVLY DEBASING..OF THE-PEOPLES.coinage)


The fires of inflation have destroyed most of the value
of the currency unit..OF..each dollar in circulation.[DEBASED COIN..INTO TREASON.]

When Deflation Becomes Hyperinflation.



“As the debts go higher and higher (which can only end in a deflationary crash); we see the money-printing accelerating at least as quickly, if not faster (which can only end in hyperinflation).”



politicians,..[public servants]..and owners of debt based
*[NON-bonDed..EVEN DEBASED assets]..HOPE the reckoning will be delayed a little longer...But the day of reckoning does come. Enron, MFGlobal,..JP-MORGAN..Zimbabwe,..MONSANTO/Weimar Germany,Argentina, and 100 other collapses and hyperinflations are NOT exceptions...BUT the rule.[timing=everything]



Fire and Ice/Inflation and Deflation.
Inflationary depression,.deflationary depression,
one before the other,..or simultaneously?=stagflation.



Will we burn..in the Fire of inflation or freeze in an Icy deflationary depression? Or will our politicians make..it “all good” forever?..and declare odious-debt..renationalise/the stolen states assets,..immediatly..[at reduced pricing]

Many voters make decisions based on limited information. Furthermore, most the important issues are so complex that it is possible to baffle most of us with bulldust. Seemingly simple statistics, such as the unemployment rate or level of government debt can be fudged by carefully wording definitions. Therefore, we aren't sure who, if anyone, to believe.

General impressions of people fill this void. Julia Gillard was seen as decent, but incompetent. She seemed utterly lost when polls started going against her. KRudd initially seemed smart and caring, but this first impression gradually faded. Few people believe that PM Abbott is the nicest bloke imaginable, but his competence is generally respected.
