Nah, he is waffling, spinning and gaffing. All at sea, no idea what to do about the economy.

whats wrong with the economy NOW?..

Well, one factoid: the deficit has blown out by $5Bn, there is no time Morriscum can say that the Budget will be in surplus. The Libs are protecting tax dodgers so the Budget will sink further and further into deficit.

Incorrect , not 5 billion , 50 billion . Sloppy DOUBLED the budget deficit , in 6 months , after promising a surplus in first year , F for fail libs , F for fail Roll Eyes

Show me where/when he said that...

Here ya go AP....No need to thank me!!!

Quote:

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has backed Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey's claim that the Coalition would be on track to deliver a budget surplus in the first year of taking office.

Earlier, Mr Abbott stopped short of guaranteeing a surplus in the Coalition’s first year, instead arguing the budget position would be ‘‘better’’ than under Labor.

A 50-page booklet launched by Mr Abbott at a campaign rally on Sunday commits the Coalition to ‘‘get the budget back under control’’ and ‘‘live within our means’’, but does not spell out a timeframe.

Mr Hockey told the National Press Club last year: ‘‘Based on the numbers presented last Tuesday night we will achieve a surplus in our first year in office and we will achieve a surplus for every year of our first term.’’

On Monday, Mr Hockey said he had not retreated from the pledge.

‘‘Our commitment is emphatic,’’ Mr Hockey told ABC Radio’s AM program.

Swan did the same thing, endlessly promising surpluses and instead dleivering the biggest deficits in history.

Incorrect, the Libs have delivered the biggest deficit in history because of a confidence killing austerity budget and putting all of their eggs in the dead mining industry basket. Massive

It's humiliating for them to admit the Libs have no idea how to manage an economy when there isn't a mining/housing boom and there isn't anymore assets or gold left to sell.

so you think shortarse would have done better even without the mining boom...

4.5billion worth of renewable energy jobs approved and ready to go, you bet ya arse he would've done better

where will shortarse get all the money from do you think?????......the likes of Gina and clive.. might be gone or at the very least on the way down by the time he takes over....

wont he buy back all those assets that got sold..??

with what?.

I dont have a problem with the economy.. unlike yourself.. retail is on the UP

usually happens at xmas

.. Qantas is making MONEY...

Is that because Libs are in you think?

I dont see anyone doing it tough...housing market hasnt crashed as much as you wish it would

going to be a doozy when it does

...Interest rates are steady

Interest rates are lower than under Labor, the sign of an economy on its knees

...

left whingeing seems to be the growth industry.

.. and a 'budget deficit' is only an estimate, rarely attained, of the balance of revenue v outgoings...

What is needed is proper accounting and a summation of the way the Estimates worked over the Budget period...... not more guesswork piled on guesswork....

There is a huge drain of cash from the Budget to very wealthy people. Just the super component of that will cost the Budget $50Bn next financial year.

Then there is Negative Gearing, CGT, tighten the FBT, quite the scope for massive Budget savings. Put some of that into increasing NewStart and the economy will get a boost as will GST, income tax and company tax payments. Then there is tackling the tax dodging by large corporations, another cornucopia of revenue. If we can’t do it then hugely increase payroll tax, that is a good tax, the bigger the employer is the more tax he pays.

None of this is rocket science, cods, just a Lib (or Green) govt will offend their wealthy backers. Yes I know a Greens govt will never happen but the principle applies.

Its on the same page as the polls being 50:50 the FTTN costing $200B and the $30B audit cost of copper wiring. That and the 'fact' that we are now in a deep recession.

well, if there was a budget emergency when the debt was half what it is now and govt. spending was lower, what is it now?

It's humiliating for them to admit the Libs have no idea how to manage an economy when there isn't a mining/housing boom and there isn't anymore assets or gold left to sell.
