Yeah good old National and it's trickle down promises when all I've seen is trickle up. The gap has widened disgustingly in my lifetime the rich got uber rich those at the bottom got tipped out of work and the middle ended up working to pay for it all.

Yeah but before Roger Douglas when he had the left turn hard right and the gap commenced.

I was referring to the green party but perhaps you could suggest rabbits to them. Perhaps possums as loose change?

Not as good as a lot of people expect. How many "ghost cities" do they have now? Just keep on building brand new cities and hope everything returns to their "normal"?

But its irrelevant as Chch needed the money (shit happens - have rainy day account and use it when required). I do agree they have done well in such a short period.

But there was lots of spending OUTSIDE of CHCH that was not required/managed. Not that Labour or anyone else would have done better. They fail to understand that debt is not good.
I mean whats a few extra billion we can't afford? Or we could just cut the expense?

But who cares - your out in 4 years. Next guy can fix the fuckup. Next guy can repay the debt......

(Truth be told I didn't really care about this stuff until I had a kid, now every day I look at myself in the mirror, look at my son, and think..........fuck I'm sorry - the shit your gonna get because I did nothing.....i'm sorry)

Absolutely Merv. Both Inside Child Poverty and Mind The Gap doco's really opened my eyes to how fucked this economy has become. Bryan Bruce puts forward some very thought provoking theories and solutions.

Don't worry yourself about it as it's really none of your business if you are not even registered to vote.
