Apart from the fact it was 4 years ago and we're dealing with today I agree with your figures, and it backs up what I have said previously, that Howard blew billions on middle class welfare that wasn't needed or wanted by most people.
Tax cuts are the best thing he delivered as I spend my own money much more wisely than any government ever will.
He did however deliver a string of surpluses and put billions into future fund and infrastructure funds that Labor inherited.
And there was no government debt when they left office.
Contrast that with today where debt is spiralling and waste has been rampant.
