Mr Rudd's Flashin the cash!!

[marinermick]

sadly, given the state of the world economy we don't need a vision on this one - we need cash injected into areas that will flow into the economy instantly

Pokies??  Bottle shops??

will do the stimulus job the government is after

as i said, in these desparate times we don't need a vision, we need money in the economy fast

I don't understand how spending it on existing debts wont help??
Pay off debt have more money to buy more thus keeping things going.

And providing more money back into the financial institutions (which are strapped for sources of finance) to be loaned out for more investment, or buying things.

Economics is one of the things I did pass at school, and it was all Keynesian back then.

I look forward to using the NZ dollar, Us Dollar, Japanese Yen or Chinese Yuan to do my shopping.

I dont understand how spending it on exsisting debts wont help??
Pay off debt have more money to buy more thus keeping things going.

If it gets you debt free yes that works, If it is only $950 on a couple hundred thousand dollar home loan or a 30k car loan.  :-\

Giving money is alright but if they are affraid to lend it to anyone then whats the point

Surprised she hasn't come out and blamed 'the ethnics' for the current woes - sounds like something she'd say.

P.S.  Druboy - on a serious (heh) note, go get your yen now...... it was at 90-odd to the AUD a few months ago, and I picked mine up the other day for 61.    :-\

 

[marconigirl]

Stupid questions- whats CMFEU???

Construction, Mining, Forrestry and Energy Union

Ahh, ta..

 

[serious14]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa - we're having a sensible discussion about economics.  On here, of all places.

Something is amiss.......

Yes am watching that, unfortunately with the Japan leg of my trip that far away I think most of that part will be put straight on the credit card rather than carrying yen through 7 or 8 countries first.

Not a problem, I get to see the propaganda alot around here

Fair enough, just thought I'd warn you.  I have a sneaking suspicion that Tokyo is horridly expensive for some things and ludicrously cheap for others - wouldn't want you to have to pay _too much_ whilst you're there and such.

P.S.  Mick - epic thread.  We need a "Squadron Forum 'Thread of the Week' type thing here...... some of the things that get posted up there are positively amazing in a "are you for real" type way.

As with pretty much my whole trip I'm trying to lock in the things that will be expensive (Accom/travel) then throw my self into local culture to keep the rest inexpensive. With a few trips to japan under my belt I know that I'll eat the local food and that saves you big bucks at times. Although any sorrow over expensive things will be washed down with warm Saki to keep there economy bubbling away

Local food??  Pft....... why bother with that when you can get a Domino's pizza for just under $50??

Andrew - oh oh, I know.  A second Sydney Airport, combined with a bullet-esque train link from Brisbane to Melbourne.

Pft, who am I kidding, that makes sense!!!!

And the money is coming from where? This is a World wide economic slow down, but of course Kev is to blame for all the problems in the World. :

So where's the money coming from for this "stimulus" package that would be far better spent on something long term and viable??  Think of all the new jobs and economic activity that would be created by a 3 state-wide rail link AND a new airport??

think about just how little that would do to hold consumer confidence up in the meantime. cue a series of daily telegraph stories saying

"RAILWAY TO BE READY IN 2015, BUT FAMILIES ON THE BREADLINE NOW!"

 

[Blackadder]

A stimulus package is exactly that a stimulus for the economy now not years down the track, what are we meant to do while we wait for the benefits to flow through?
New jobs will be made but only after several months if not years with feasibilty studies etc, something all Political parties seem to enjoy.

 

[serious14]

'Cause the last one worked so well............. SO WELL IN FACT, we now need another one.

Brilliant.  ;D

 

[Blackadder]

And the Libs policy to combat the economic slow down is??? Well going by the News tonight they have no policy, so have adopted the "Let's criticise the Government route."
