But I think 3 years of watching the commie left tearing itself to bits may well be intertaining, it will wreck the country for years afterwards but the entertainment maybe worth it. After that I would hope people learn their lessons and dont vote the commies back in for a few hundred years.	prefect (6291)

Balance the books at all costs, even if the country is fast becoming a member of the 3rd world. I can't see any point in selling off state assets, doing so will only balance the books once. After that there are no assets and no money. I know that with my own finances I am only in surplus when all debts are paid off. It does sound a bit backward I agree. That is why it's termed a Financial Surplus. Meaning, after paying out everything that is required, including debt servicing, there is money left over. Same as when you have a credit card debt of say $1000 and each month you pay the minimum amount, but you meet budget with maybe some left over to go to the pub with. We were becoming a 3rd world well before the Nats got back in. Helen's gang saw to that. My opinion is that it is welfare that is killing us kindly. We simply cannot continue to spend billions on welfare and expect to get any better off.	Krakka (17266)
