aussie trade deficit again higher than expected, page-12

hi moondoong

if one adds up all the country trade surpluses and deficits then there is one huge black hole of missing dough.

i wonder where it is ?

inflation on a personal level is not the same as gvt figures.

one smokes and drinks

others don't but have mortgages

others have none of above but use petrol a lot

in the end inflation figures are dunkum

house price inflation - it has to be paid for

on and on etc.

no true way of working things out.

me ... i look out of the window. what i see is what i use for my best guide.

everyone going on overseas trips, new cars by the dozen, latest fashions etc then i know spending is outa sinc.

not so much of above then i'm happier on the economy not being overheated
