Draw a long bow: How is world recession Rudd's fault?

[nomore4s]

It's all Rudds fault because he won the election, if Howard had won, it would all be Howards fault but then Howard would have retired and then it would be Costellos fault, but then Costello would be blaming the newly retired Howard who would then somehow place the blame on the Hawke/Keating government.
Isn't that how politics works?:

Spot on nomore4's.

Hip pocket issues. Most aussies could'nt give a stuff. Going to the ballot on a Saturday every couple of years is enough of an inconvenience for most. Generally speaking incumbents cop downturns even if they are global!

It's definitely not his fault, but he is making it worse by all these stimulus packages and reckless government spending.

Not to mention his "****storm" speech by advocating for the government "to do something" rather than let the free market works, in which the latter he believes does not work and/or is the cause of the GFC. He really needs to fire all his economic advisors or brainwash them and then send them to the Austrian school.

 

[Broadside]

the 2020 summit was the beginning of the end for the world economy, the eyes of the world were turned to Canberra for the meeting of celebrity minds and the best they could come up with was roof insulation.

Then began the spiral of despair, wailing and gnashing of teeth, etc.

So Kevin Rudd AND Cate Blanchett and her ilk are all equally to blame for this mess.
