What about all the other labor state governments at the time and their inflationary nonchalant begar thy neighbor spending hypocracy, knowing that the federal government would always have to bail them out, the labor inflationary states, oh holy of oracles?

Dallas, you should point to whom you are directing that comment.

But, yes, state governments are even more irresponsible than local governments, and that says a lot.

But surely you can see that as yet another expression of the capitalist system, and more so the neo-liberal capitalists system we are cursed with by choice?

States do not act in isolation from the world about them.

We should bin the states, along with daylight saving, at least until our cows and curtains get a vote.

Comrade The Blue Cross glad you bought that up, we have daylight saving in NSW and my curtains are hiding in the corner trembling in the breeze.
I pull them as far into those corners but the sun still finds them.
The cows are confused and over slept on the day it finished.
However you remind me, some cows do get to vote.
PS
I have no Comrades
just mates but could not resist

You are all just grinding around and around like a cake mixer.
All this steam when the big switch is about to be pulled.

Someone turned it off briefly in July 2008 and look what happened.
The next time it might only come back on at half voltage.
Wake up !

I do understand why you have no comrades belly.

I am glad to see that you too are aware of the very real problems, indeed 'dangers' of daylight saving.

The problem of fading curtains could send our imports into hyperdrive as millions of bolts of cloth are imported from China to replace our faded curtains.

While some regard daylight saving as a non issue, it is in fact a vital national interest security issue, as you are clearly aware.

I didn't realise cows had the vote in NSW, that might explain how you get such poor government I suppose, particularly when the cows actually move in to parliament and union positions.

Still, its good to have an explanation for these mysteries at last.

Thinker2,

That sounds like the 101 from the socialist manual. It may take 37 hours to assemble, but the parts take time to manufacture, the assembly line to put up etc. In all you will find that nearly all of the costs find their roots in labour costs. In fact in a balanced economy GDP (gross domestic product) = gross income (macro economics 101).
