like I said, apply your logic to what Aust should do since govt is the culprit, and we are mere socialists or commos who know nothing.

Go on, have a go, and disclose your real name. I am eagre to learn about how useless we all are, and why we should all listen to you.

I think there would be a lot of others, who have also worked in govt or academia, that would like to learn from your supposed wisdom

me get upset from you. Dream on.

come on, you and your crap about fascists and dreams of living in a world of liberty. It is not going to happen, at least for a long time. Just look at the rise of China and the arrogance of Russia, govt dominated nations.

I just hope we liberal democracies can rise to the challenge.

Libertarianism, which obviously gives you something to do and rave on about, is about as problem solving as religion. It is an ideal that can never take account of realities that complicate international society's best intentions.

Anyway like I said, disclose your real name and contribute articles to OLO to help us supposed govt parasites.

It is always a lot easier to be an armchair critic, and I hoping you have a bit of spine.

You desperately need to catch up on the last 50 years
Socialists killing people - indeed

Read something Christ read anything

Perhaps start with the confessions of an economic hit man

What has been happening in the US is a symptom of the decline that can
be seen in other parts of the US infrastructure & economy.
Road & bridge repair declining, roads being turned back to gravel etc.
There is even a website for closed or never opened shopping malls.

We are starting to see some signs of the same troublesome effects.
Governments are in a monetary squeeze.
It is a function of very low growth rates. The famous tight oil finds
that we all get drip fed with by the uncritical media and politicians
famous phrase, "No problem in the foreseeable future".

There is about until 2017 that we will stumble on with declining
services and cutbacks in government expenditure.
Then further rises in energy costs will accelerate the decline for all countries.
The end of growth.
