No, I said you need to link the policies to the consequences. I'm not just talking about the Carbon Tax. For example, did you not think all the huge government stimulus spending would have a effect on inflation and costs (including the $900 handout). When governments inject money, people spend more, inflation rises.
NO, but all the silly voters cheered their $900, without realising that it would cost them many more times than that later on. Well now you are playing for the after effects in rising costs. So stop complaining.
Bluestorm, I am once again AMAZED that you are conjecturing that I AM one of the 'silly voters cheered their $900' and therefore have no right to complain about rising living costs.
Bluestorm, everyone, regardless of political affliation or how they voted, received that $900, and circulated it through the economic system one way or another, by spending it on a holiday, paying down their credit card (by the way, I don't see how paying down a credit card is inflationary), putting it toward their mortgage or rent or putting it into a bank or just buying some much needed household appliances. Spent it in a myriad different ways, books, school uniforms, home insurances, rego etc
Tell us, did you put your $900 under your bed and therefore only you have the moral right to complain about costs of living increasing as you did not put it through the economic system thus causing 'inflationary pressures'? Come on!
You seem to have given yourself some kind of god-given right to tell people to 'Stop Complaining' depending on what sort of person you've projected them to be. You've equated me to being 'a silly voter that cheered their $900, now I"M paying for it in rising costs so I should stop complaining"
Your personal attacks, projections, judgemental attitude and flaws in logical thinking leave me deeply disturbed and disconcerted.
