| 1384163 | 2014-09-18 06:34:00 | We live in a strange world, Mr Micawber had it right; ""Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen [pounds] nineteen [shillings] and six [pence], result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." And yet.......... "Official figures show the seasonally-adjusted current account deficit increased to $2 billion in the three months to June, compared with a revised $617 million shortfall in the previous quarter." www.radionz.co.nz Then we now have economists saying this is a good thing because the increase is due to all the profits being taken out of the country by foreign owned firms (and hence increased economic activity)....listen yourself to the gurus.... www.radionz.co.nz |

| 1384169 | 2014-09-18 09:54:00 | I Know....Lets have a tax cut...that'll fix it. That is an absolutely brilliant idea ! I like it ! ACT want to reduce business tax to 17% thereby greatly increasing the profits for foreign owned companies and the outflow of money, about doubling the current account deficit. Just imagine all the good news that would result in. Ok then, as Reginald Gardiner said..."back to the looney bin":groan: EDIT: for pcuser42, www.youtube.com the classic 'Trains' from 1934 |

Remember that your employers (AKA voters in the Keyteam case) are pretty gullible and will swallow almost anything and anyway, this is the standard process for keeping things cosily confidential (www.nzherald.co.nz). |
