Comments on: Why does anyone think the Labour party would be any worse that the Coalition at managing the economy? http://www.tradecorridor.net/health-coalition/why-does-anyone-think-the-labour-party-would-be-any-worse-that-the-coalition-at-managing-the-economy Wed, 12 May 2010 03:48:59 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: ll_jenny_ll http://www.tradecorridor.net/health-coalition/why-does-anyone-think-the-labour-party-would-be-any-worse-that-the-coalition-at-managing-the-economy/comment-page-1#comment-3243 ll_jenny_ll Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:03:59 +0000 http://www.tradecorridor.net/health-coalition/why-does-anyone-think-the-labour-party-would-be-any-worse-that-the-coalition-at-managing-the-economy#comment-3243 there's a Lot more involved in our economy that managing JUST the money side of things ... How well will the economy run IF the issue with climate isn't addressed and if the crisis of water isn't dealt with.... now I guess some people can't see the connection ....after all ALL they think is required is playing with the $$$$'s ok well consider the industries that rely on water .. farming,(both livestock/grain/textiles) manufacturing,even the landscape gardening area.. and so many many many more .. consider the problems that will occur... if we don't have a long term water plan...consider rising costs... consider unemployment, as a result of industries collapsing .. it will BE MASSIVE... THEN consider the issue of climate change .. areas that were once arable will not be any more .. areas that had short summers will have longer summers and THAT will have a bearing on crops, some crops require a crisp winter's snap before spring and they will not be able to be grown again ... so all the while .. labor has a bad reputation for being fiscally sound ... you HAVE to consider things that the Liberals HAVE FAILED to address .. that WILL have massive bearings on our economy....<br><b>References : </b><br> there’s a Lot more involved in our economy that managing JUST the money side of things …

How well will the economy run IF the issue with climate isn’t addressed and if the crisis of water isn’t dealt with….

now I guess some people can’t see the connection ….after all ALL they think is required is playing with the $$$$’s

ok well consider the industries that rely on water .. farming,(both livestock/grain/textiles) manufacturing,even the landscape gardening area.. and so many many many more .. consider the problems that will occur… if we don’t have a long term water plan…consider rising costs… consider unemployment, as a result of industries collapsing .. it will BE MASSIVE…

so all the while .. labor has a bad reputation for being fiscally sound … you HAVE to consider things that the Liberals HAVE FAILED to address .. that WILL have massive bearings on our economy….

The role of the government is limited to not upsetting the current trend. There is, however, the element of shortsightedness in not securing our long term prosperity after the minerals based export boom is over. There is no investment in knowledge base of the nation, the education is not a priority, the hi-tech industries are not promoted. I fear for the future.<br><b>References : </b><br> The economic boom is due more to the growth of Chinese and Indian economies then to the performance of the current government.

Check into the 18% interest rates, check into the skills and qulaification of the "Labour Team" The government may dictate policy but public servants implement it. I have a mortgage and a job and I don't especially like John Howard but Kevin Rudd is scarey and Wayne Swann is just plain freaky<br><b>References : </b><br> Interesting concept howefer check your facts around the 2 billion dollar debt labour left last time.

Howard operates on the fear factor. A great deal of people are below the poverty line and are looking for hope, any hope. Along comes John and promises the World with Mars thrown in for good measure. There are a lot of elderly people out there that believe this rubbish and vote him back in. If he says "Don't trust the Labor Party" 99% of them won't. Not to worry though. I watched 'Sunday' this morning on Nine. There a great deal of people in QLD ,who will not be voting for Mr. Sheen this time.<br><b>References : </b><br> As you all well know.

What really goads me is that the lib's have underestimated the surplus year in and year out. Where do you think this money comes from. They tell us that a lot of it is due to the economic boom. Yeah right! My cost of living has absolutely boomed, and every time the prices of everything go up, so does the governments GST and other tax take. The insult is that they offer us what they call Tax Cuts, but this is money that they originally over taxed us, and then they expect us to bow down and be greatful for for something we already paid for. Sorry, you don't buy my vote that way. I prefer services to be modernised and better funded, not allowing them to be downgraded and being left with a basket case for infrastructure.<br><b>References : </b><br> I agree with all the above.
