Poirot, so what you are suggesting is that the world economists suggest that the insulation debacle, the school halls blow out, the sending of millions of stimulus dollars to dead people were all strokes of genius.

You must also remember that these economists you place so much faith in also voted that Swan fool as the smartest man in the world. Yep, they were spot on!

They also didn't see the GFC coming and that's because they work off data (old news).

I also note you have dodged the part about every cent spent by the libs on illegals could have been avoided if not for Kevin 07 riding in on his pony.

Rudd was a dud. He was a very good talker just like Malcom, only thing is at that time he had been left with an economy in great shape.

rehctub,

Gawd! - you're a whinger.

You lucked out and got born in a first world country...all the opportunities at your fingertips.

And it seems to me you've spent your entire life resenting and begrudging your fellow man.

Not for a moment do you consider that the very mechanism of allowing the working class and the lower orders spending power is what has driven post-war affluence in Western countries. Consumerism is what drives capitalism, you know.

What a sad act you are.

Poirot, I don't begrudge anyone with the true Aussie attitude of 'have a go mate' but what I do begrudge is those who contribute little or nothing, bitching and complaining every step of the way, simply because their tax payer funded gift cant stretch far enough to provide for the likes of rent, food, grog, cigs and gambling. Although sadly, its often in reverse order.

We live in a world today where far too many have this entitlement mentality yet when someone threatens their world, like Abbott, all hell breaks loose.

The other thing that bugs me is how people like you bang on about middle class welfare, yet conveniently forget that these are often the ones who earn too much to gain assistance, yet too little to provide for themselves, their well cared for children as well as their retirement. And if they do try to get ahead, super, negative gearing, you lot whinge about that as well.

We now find ourselves in a position where we have a PM who's another dud, and an op leader who is a complete dill. Oh what a choice!

The race to the bottom continues.
