" would imagine that costello ran the economy in a sustainable fashion that managed to pass on to the next government some money in the bank ... >"
By god you liberal staffers astound me. You whinge, moan, groan, and weep incessantly about the government not having a surplus (billions of it) and rave, ramble, fume, rant, etc, etc and etc about the government going you for excessive taxes. What are you all on about! How do you think that a government, any government, builds up the bank? They build up the bank with taxes!!! Your twin moans groans etc, and etc, and etc show a good old solid discontinuity of thought. Please get your act together mateys.
