Everyone wants to knee-jerk, its the day after and a jerk feels right but a knee jerk is over too quickly to really appreciate its use , that's the problem of jerking.

Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Farmer Green,
One: Economies are not comparable to a business. Economies are huge macro-money systems often influenced by the wild winds of world trading.
Two: We are relying on the U.S to start reheating the world economy. The U.S economy is being held back from it huge capital potential by a congress that is not supporting the final part of the economic salvage package, a package that was literally thrown at the U.S national economy to keep it alive. We are waiting on others.
We are quite capable of stimulating our own economy through increased taxation and more spending, something the U.S will have to do at some time with a decent congress. So we can put more jobs in our economy, increase the tax base, put much needed better public services in our economy, basically through taxation of wealthier citizens.
Three: Our business community needs to be understood and drilled down to productive industries and how they contribute to the wealth of the country as oppossed to mature business grinding out hard to find yearly profits.
We are in a recessive world economy and everyone must take the strain, not just the battered poor.

Amen to that. Schools are schools not thriving hotbeds of social educational activists. Teachers see a world we never see.

There's a choice bit in the book when they stop slandering the opposition and plot to slander themselves. It's a funny old book.

All you talk about is keeping an economic status quo, a status quo which doesn't hold water for 52% of the population.
There was no mandate for our current economic direction. There was a New Zealand MMP state election and National have won the governance rights for three years. Lots of problems to solve and 52% of the voting population yesterday wanted someone else to do it. So there's debate. No one belongs here.

Your reading assignment is to re-read the book. No skimming this time because as you’ll find other funny stories happened too. It’s a wild read buddy.
