You bloggers were not saying that Leary is the only one who can research a story in the world. Or he should get the Nobel prize for masturbation.

THANK YOU JOSIE!

I'm sure the usual contributors will be on here trying to denigrate you but partisan politics aside this is a good article.

Left or right, SLP/UWP, this nation is sinking under the debt created by politicians. It is completely unsustainable and it is high time they are called out and held to account.

There is no magic money tree, the best you can hope for is good governance of the public finances and upholding the rule of law.

BE GONE KENNY ANTHONY, YOU WICKED FAT BASTARD

Mr. Peter Josie ridiculous arguments about the GDP are unmoored from both reason and reality. Debt to GDP ratio is just one component to determine a country's creditworthiness. It is not the full narrative about any country. Japan and the United States debt to GDP ratio is 200% and 100% respectively yet their economies are doing much better than that of the European Union, excluding Germany. Once again, Mr. Josie is blinded by his bitterness for PM Anthony and the SLP. His failure to provide a cogent and coherent analysis has exposed his ignorance about economics and government.

@10:33 - but their liabilities are trillions of dollars. Them selling Chinese IOU's is what's keeping them solvent for the time being. It's a house of cards waiting to come down. You are stuck in the old ways of thinking.

You cannot keep continually spending more than you raise from tax. The borrowing has to be repaid, individual or Nation.

Never has this chap ever produced credentials that proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, that he had mastered the discipline of Economics any more than the ordinary man in the street. Not back then, when he had political power then but was all Communist rhetoric. And not now, when he has been left with mere name recognition ONLY! Positive achievements? We'll ... the search continues, if you have the stomach for futility.
