[Prospector]

And whats the use in raising the pension age to 67 in 2023?? where did they pull this year from?

I think the year is chosen so that it affects Gen X and Gen Y and not the Baby Boomers whose voting numbers are too important to risk.
It catches me in the trap, I will say St*ff you Rudd every working morning of my lost 2 years of retirement.

You will have to put that question on notice. Nobody has ever asked it before. As no country has any spare cash to lend us, except perhaps China, maybe we just ratchet up the printing presses at the mint.

When it suits them, I am a baby boomer. When it doesnt suit them, I am not. Apparently this targets everyone born after 1952.

I will give you a tip. Fund your own retirement and avoid the trap.

Ooops.

Silly me.

The budget may be back in the black by 2013, but the big question that hasn't been answered is when will this debt be paid off?

blue

Exactly?
But if they give power back to Liberals, it will not be their problem, right?

 

[Aussiejeff]

Well, the ASX didn't like the Budget and tanked up till mid-day today.

Then KRuddSwan Ltd must have got onto their big bwanker mates and pleaded with 'em to buy up stocks big time this arvo to "support the Budget".

You know it makes sense....

 

[bandicoot76]

the way he's been over there smoking pole lately i would hazard a guess that we are knee deep in debt to china and its rising quickly!

 

[Aussiejeff]

Let's play a fun game where we place bets on when you think KRuddSwan Pty Ltd will be "forced" by "unexpected worsening news from the world economy" to "downwardly revise" their uber-optimistic Budget economic forecast.

I bet by end of May 2009.

Anyone game enough to raise that bet??

 

[Green08]

There is alot of scope there AJ by next week

 

[Gillie]

mmmmnnn..... global socialist economic tide? China takes on the debt, stalls commodity prices by stockpiling, buying into major commodity producers.....

Sounds like a takeover

 

[Soft Dough]

I bet by end of May 2009.

lol

I bet that it will be the first year of 4.5% growth.

 

[Calliope]

I think the only way out of this mess is for Rudd to firmly tell the Chinese that instead of trying to buy the good bits, they have to make an offer for the whole county.

As there will be no other bidders we probably will have to take their first offer, but you never know... after paying off our huge credit card we might make a 4.5% profit.
