"Once spending programs (especially middle class welfare and tax breaks) are entrenched, its usually political suicide to reverse.

Politics101."

Sorry I dont care about that at all.

While I acknowledge hockey and his end of entitlements has now been knocked on the head,it behoves those in government to govern appropriately for all people irrespective of any longevitity wish to remain in power.

All(thats all middleclass welfare should be curtailed).

The first homebuyers grant is actually putting the price of houses up and should be stopped.

The negative gearing(the most generous in the world) needs to be wound back.

Add a major overhaul of the GST and tax cuts for both corporate and joe and janette citizen would be a monty.

Yes government has a place,but no place supporting the above as Ive outlined.
