you don't have to say labor is best at handling the economy...

you don't have to say labor is best at handling the economy dave, it's obvious that you think that way by the way you post. i'm sure i don't have to say the liberals are better either for you to deduce from my posts that i think they're better.

it's a bit like when you say that the liberals where a record taxing government. that's cherry picking cause you only paint a part of the picture, you fail to add that they've actually reduced tax rates, you fail to add that company's where making record profits etc. etc. either an appalling lack of knowledge on your part or you're attempting to mislead, which one?

& for the record, it was more than just the resource states that ran surplus budgets over the same period, but it's not the point dave. look at where they've all ended up. NSW,VIC,QLD,SA,WA,ACT&NT.

why don't you run some numbers over state debt levels & get back to us on those "facts".
