501298 2006-11-23 20:13:00 i agree 100%, but anticipate labour to start spending that $11.5 billion in the 6 months leading up to elections to...

A little off topic, but it bugs me every time I see this...

$11.5B surplus is not an $11.5B cheque book. Sure, there is some actual "folding" money in there, but it's a far cry form $11.5B.

And as for Labour using the money to spend in the lead-up to the election, hands up anyone who seriously believes that any other party in the same position wouldn't do the same. People seem shocked that Labour is acting in its own interests, to ensure it stays in power. Since when have politicans in recent times ever acted to put itself out of power?

And after the spin, even the most complete nightmare turns into a "slight mistake". :D

501300 2006-11-23 22:11:00 The only thing going for Key is the fact that the position will be vacant. In most recent changes of the guard, the old guard has had to be forcibly removed. Don't take this as support for the man........ Scouse (83)

Not really,had no time for think big Muldoon for a start.
I will be surprised if there is anything in that book,time will tell.

Brash was good, in that he wasn't you typical politician and what he did wrong the brethren crowd,I don't know.
I certainly lean to- wards being responsible for ones action,which is what right wing is all about.

Lets hope that will hold true for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al when they are impeached for the chaos they have caused in Iraq.

Did you read the link I posted Cicero?

By the way Milton Friedman knew Don Brash by name and said what a good little disciple he was, together with Roger Douglas and Richard Prebble and all the other enemies of the ordinary people.
