No one is looking for perfection Misty its called responsibility,our current government has not got a handle on what is going where.Those that cant admit that the insulation farce,the rapidly deterioting school fiasco or the lets throw $900 at everyone is poor policy are the ones showing true political bias.
If you really believed that most people know what they are voting for then you will readily admit that most of the time a liberal government is best for the country.(66% of the time according to a quick google search).One of your favorites John Howard was our second best PM,just because we kept voting him in,the all time best PM another liberal.
The belief that a stimulas package got us thru with very little pain has been reinforced by the same clowns who got it horribly wrong in the first place.If you believe our current leaders will lead us into a new golden age more power to you,my personal opinion is that weak government now will cause greater pain in the future.As i said previously time will be the judge.
We all have our opinions but it is definately not courageous to spend large amounts of money when its not yours in the first place and you wont be around to pay it off.
