mike you can rabbit on as much as you like about Madoff but lets not forget John Key amassed a fortune working for Meryl lynch who along with goldman sax J.P.Morgan are some of the worst offenders in the wall st scandal. These people are the sort our wonderful prime minister supports.

Mike wrote: well the government is cutting costs just like any other business by dumping thousands onto the unemployment line. But they were too stupid to factor into the loss of tax revenue. The neutral tax changes of 3 years agocosts NZ billions every year. So I do not have much faith in this zero budget. Stealing from paper boys is the lowest any government could do. Japan's economy has been stuffed for decades. The earthquake will generate growth greater than the past twenty years combined. Gopvernment spending for Christchurch was allready stolen from the insurance paying public of NZ. No new money has been promised, the Nats lie to make themselves look good. If a business made a decision which led to a significant fall in revenue, they would reverse it wuick smart. But the government refuses to acknowledge the tax chages were a mistake and reverse them. Thsi governemtn is the most corrupt and incompetent NZ has ever seen. key will be remembered for thaking the general result from national led governments (the country bordering on bankrupcy) and propduce a record result. New Zealand will be bankrupt and owned by overseas countries.

The worse budget since the 1992, Ruth Richardson, Ruthenesia budget. The worse wage rises in 50 years, the worse lowest employment figures in 50 years, the highest number of NZers moving to Australia, ever. The worse employment relation since the 1920s, The worse business confidence in 60 years. As if the 2011 S&P downgrade of NZ wasn't enough? Its all a great indictment for the looney Nat government. A left led government in 2014 is sounding loads better. The Austerity measures are not working. Just as the IMF predicted in 2009.
