howard best pm since wwii - poll, page-37

Howard was a grub and a germ.
Apart from his complete lack of moral scruples (Iraq,children overboard, kids in detention centres for years,encouraging racist nutters like Hanson etc.)'
lets look at his economic policy.
He presided over an unprecedented boom with consequent huge increases in tax reciepts leading to huge surplusses.
Did he invest in infrastucture, health, education or other long term projects to secure long term prosperity?
Nope, he stashed it away and every 3 years leading up to his re-election he handed it out as tax cuts and pork barrelling in marginal electorates.
I laughed all night when the lying rodent lost his own seat, I still crack a smile just thinking about it.
