'they too would have gone into deficit running a stimulus program not much different to the one Labor ran.'
Batts and BER don't think so.
Carrying on from a previous post of yours the Libs have probably previously gone through Pysc tests when they worked in the real world unlike the amount of union officials and baggage that the labs have in federal and state politics now.
Don't try and tar the Lib policies that your imagination sees with what they would really have done and I would back my left one that the Batts and BER waste of public funds would not have happened.
