galaxy poll. john howard best pm ever by far, page-52

Hmmm ... given the median age in Australia is like 38 or so .. statistically those polled will fall into the date range by Howard.

Also, statistically by age only a small number would have even remembered Hawke and Keating .. let alone be savvy enough to compare the challenges these PM's faced.

For the Johnny lovers .. Hawke/Keating era's put the foundations in place creating a modern, dynamic economy.

Howard/Costello as the beneficiaries of this enjoyed a dream run as the $$$$ flowed into the Govt coffers.

Howard did what every housewife would do in the good times ... pay off the credit card and squirrel away for a rainy day !!

Howard starved the States (Labor)of funds which were forced into crippling debt, desperate for infrastructure while Howard 'pork-barrelled' the electorate time and time again to remain in power.

And if you think things are going okay .. this generation will be poorer and live shorter lives than their parents !!

Just meeee view ..


Cheers ... tight stops.
