the left came into a vault packed solid with cold hard cash.
they wasted their way through it, destroying almost every industry they touched.
now, we have a need for money - one that would "stimulate" the economy.
thanks to their financial folly, the economy is now in critical care.
Once again, Tony Abbott comes out with sensible logical alternatives.
Quote:..........Using her strongest language so far to convey the extent of the budget cuts, Ms Gillard said "every dollar" in the Budget needed to be used for the best possible purpose.
"There is going to be some pain around and people are going to have to recognise that," Ms Gillard told reporters on Channel 10. "We will make some choices . . . and they're going to be tough choices."
Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will push to scrap $500 million of Building the Education Revolution projects to partly replace Ms Gillard's flood levy. He would also seek a similar amount in deferrals of the water buyback scheme.Mr Abbott will take the full flood package to his shadow cabinet today as an alternative to the Government's $5.8 billion recovery plan, which includes the $1.8 billion levy to be applied to people with income above $50,000.
It is believed that further savings would also be made from cuts to the computers in schools program, which was promised by Kevin Rudd in 2007, and which has blown out from $1 billion to $2 billion.
Mr Abbott will unveil his plan before meeting with Independents to try to convince them to block the Government's levy legislation, which is expected to go to Parliament before the end of the week.
Mr Abbott yesterday would not confirm what was in the package but said the Murray Darling Basin $1.3 billion water buyback scheme was an area where cuts would also be made.
"Now is not the time to be buying back water, particularly when the Murray Darling Basin plan is up for grabs. It seems that would be one area that could be very substantially deferred," he said.
"We do not need a new tax on top of all the other misery which these natural disasters have visited upon the Australian people."............

You cannot hide in politics and Gillard will eat him: YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!
The metrosexuals will be getting very worried behind that crack pipe and asking themselves where is the substance in Abbots game!
