I’d alert the media but what the hell for, we’re doing their damn job now anyway.

The media are almost totally cowed by Labour.

That is why the lefties hate the Internet Blogsites.

No Control.

Suspicious:

Redbaiter has gone to ground.

A definite 9th Floor troll, with a brief to completely discredit the Right wing blogs!

And try and force legislation to control the cybertroopers.

Why am I so sure?

Never appears on WOBH, and for someone as Radical as it is, a glaring omission.

Never enquired about the Blogmobile, and how to meet up etc.

Poor repressed homosexual. Boy or Girl?

Can’t decide but a nasty invidious piece of work.

Ooooh that nasty Ruth Richardson; if it were not for her the good doctor could have hidden the truth.

Well I’m not so sure he won’t still hide a good deal of it. Like how he will pull two billion dollars worth of bribes out of his arse on November the 5th. The prick out to be burnt on a bonfire. Thirty billion deficit over next five years according to the Herald a minute ago.

From a quick look, the PRE-EFU does not include any of the EFA-required statements.

The Ministerial forward includes the following: “This Government is proud of what it has achieved during the past three terms. The New Zealand economy of 2008 is much stronger and more sustainable than that of 1999 and it is also fairer.”

Surely this makes it an electoral advertisement? Or are they doing to argue that the use of the term “this Government’ rather than the more usual, at least pre-EFA, form of “Labour-led government” means that it is OK?

“The Government will run up cash deficits of more than $30 billion over the next five years due to reduced revenue and increasing costs, Treasury forecast today.”

Fark…. lucky that Election wasn’t scheduled for November 5th

So If Dr. ~~Muppet~~ Cullen is to stay true to his ideology then there must surely be tax hikes in the pre-election policy announcements. Or will he sell out to political bribes and finally offer tax cuts which we couldn’t afford when we had an $8b surplus… Doooh – he’s already done that.

So Cullen’s spent the lot and blamed it on the world economy – moron. The global economy never told him to pay for his trainset, nor so much over the odds for it. The global economy had nothing to do with non-tradable inflation running above 4% for the last four years. And the global economy didn’t demand an ETS that will cost taxpayers billions of dollars down the track.

Cullen’s certainly learnt from his history teaching background – that every Labour government spends as much as they possibly can only to be turfed out of office when the electorate realises that they’ve got nothing in return other than higher taxes and a bureaucracy full of party hacks.

Cullen’s solution would be to cancel tax cuts and increase taxes across the board.

Then around this time next election the books would open again, the deficit would be even more, industry here would be almost at a standstill, agriculture and dairy badly damaged through green taxes and his solution would be…

cancel tax cuts and increase taxes across the board.

What sort of moron would vote for that? What sort of mind bogglingly stunted retard would tolerate that kind of mismanagement?

What new name should be given to this new school of economics as practiced by Cullen?

Magooism?

Well Cullen has been the Finance Minister for 9 years and he still doesn’t know what the fuck he’s trying to do.

Fat chance of him getting a job in the private sector post-election.
