Here we go, here we go, here we go, demonizing the welfare system for individuals. I knew this would come up, just a matter of time.

How many people on this forum have ever heard of corporate welfare? few if any I bet. Why would that be? simply because the man on the TV has not told them about it that's why?

Why has the man on the TV not talked about the cost of corporate welfare?

Why has he not told the people what the annual budget for corporate welfare is.

why is corporate welfare undiscussible?

why does the media refuse to talk about corporate welfare?

why does the media train Australians to hate welfare for individuals and the people who claim it?

Why has he not talked about other causes of insufficient tax receipts.

Might this be due to the fact that the govt gave the banks the right to print money out of thin air without reserving for the Australian people the right for their govt to print money out of thin air to fund all the goods and services govt provides to the people of Australia using the exact same method the banks use.

Why do I say the govt gave the banks the right to create money out of thin air? Well, the govt is the highest authority in the land is it not so only it could give the banks that authority. The banks cannot give themselves that right can they? ......... can they?

As you think you know all about it Referundemdrivensocienty, how about you writing an alternate budget for us. We are all ears & eyes!

Here's my questions / points.
I'm don't posses the economic wisdom some of you have so maybe you can shed some light on it for me.
I refer to some of the questions Referundemdrivensocienty brings up and also Aiden's responses.

I ask:
'Why is it a good idea to keep burdening ourselves with more and more debt?'
'Are we not an economy driven by handouts and powered by debt?'

I know Aiden's textbook economic wisdom says we need to borrow and increase money supply to create stimulus and grow the economy, but to me somethings seriously wrong when you have an export deficit and your printing money to both pay interest and see it sent overseas.
And that's before you have to really face the facts that the economy itself is completely false and powered by the handouts, is it not?
Yes, we can borrow, but the moneys not staying here, and we're slowly sinking into oblivion, right?
