A non military national service, we are only .2 off full employment, or are you talking about all youth. Our economic woes are from non confidence in spending money, how are you going to fix that.

Ahhh so 579, you agree that the labour government should be left in
place and not dismissed and replaced by bank appointees.

Well so do I, the European banks seem to be acting as though they were
foreclosing on a company. The receivers are in at Greece Pty Ltd
and Italy Pty Ltd.

Just as well our $230 Billion debt is not up for repayment yet or we
might have the Chinese receivers in tomorrow.

Still to be serious I am surprised that there has not been any serious comment about the administrators being appointed.
I did not think such a thing could happen to sovereign governments

OK I need to expand.
First Bazz, bloke freedom may be at fault, Italy, Greece, Spain, almost every European country has had fractured governments post ww2.
Coalitions put together , some times the strangest bed fellows have formed governments.
True change , financial ones that hurt are almost impossible.
I am aware Germany has prospered, by doing what it always has,producing more for less.
But the nut cases that are telling us they planned this are wrong.
Growth, all its needs wants and symptoms did it.
Germany had goods and services for sale,some bought too much.
IF we agree growth is good, but not endless.
Productivity increase is good, but not at a cost to lifestyle.
We can begin to plan.
Let us put our emotions aside,t for a few posts.
No I am not heartless!
I give more than I can afford.
But have you ever given then found that person conned you?
Had more in his pocket than you?
Just as Capitalism has changed and will continue to, Socialism, our part of it can must too.
Education public transport health a host more,is in America eyes pure Socialism.
I am so very proud we do far better than them.
We must not measure our selves against them.
For such a rich country to have so many truly poor is horrible.
Continued.

The problem Belly is that these appointees were not even members of parliament.
It was just the same as the board of a company being removed by the bank.

I understand, and it hurts, that many will find my suggestions cruel.
I know too, apart from Banjo, and maybe one or two others few have struggled just to eat as my family did.
A list, the why not list, not back dated, no one can send a child back.
No Baby bonuses.
No child money support for the third child and all after, no tax breaks either.
Parents who work but put or have children put in Forster homes to pay for upkeep.
Superannuation in two parts, 9% in to retirement as now, any future rise to pay till it runs out instead of pensions.
Trade off, injured unable to work get better income true needy more help.
Unemployed to work, at going rates, to benefit community and must turn up and work.
these few thoughts come from lifetime unionist, one who knows our safety net has by some been turned in tom a shield to keep work away.
As always, some will fight me, tell me no one bludgers on us, sorry, most true crims use the welfare to back up in quite times.

we are only .2 off full employment,
579,
you wouldn't be comfortable with that figure if you were one of those earning 150.- a week because you're deemed fully employed by working two days a week.
