x2 but if he was still in youd be complaining bout that too
Had you been a part of any of the political debate threads in the past you would know that this is absolutely not the case. I was in the Liberal camp. See "Federal Election" in club lounge.
Speedz: the Rudd campaign was well marketed... Now we will all suffer.
Leroy: I didn't steal any kids from their families either...
was talking more what people would be thinking in general not so much your self
Sure $900 would get an immediate spend, but what I think Leroy's rebuttal (and my thoughts) is that infrastructure projects employ people and allows them to earn that much (or more) money each week, with effects just as immediate (weekly/fortnightly/monthly) as the $900 handout. This then goes over a 1-2 year spread. Sure there is a period of time to get the projects designed, but a lot of projects have been designed and have been shelved or have shrunk, all that needs to happen is funding and they can be built. The infrastructure will then hopefully be in place for the next boom where it can be fully utilised. That is the downside of governments of late, they plan for now not the future.
i agree they do tend to do things by half then ends up costing more just to fix or upgrade things.
on the other hand i think road workers and rail workers shouldnt get the funding just cause they so damb slow and lazy
i once went to work in the morning bout 7ich i see 5 road workers looking at a road sign, mind u they decided to block off half the street and put caution signs every where. at lunch time i went past there again to grab something to eat and they had dug out alittle hole where they were going to pull the sign out, this little hole took them 5 hours to dig and 3 of the workers were sleeping on a near by hill, i went back to work
later that night on the way home went past there again an they had just put up caution tape all over it and left :o
