the gorilla in the lounge room

Compared to what's *really* going on out in the
real world, Howard and Costello prattling on
about locust plagues descending on Australia
is we dare to vote for the union-controlled Labor

Inflation is beginning to turn paper money and
paper assets into confetti, and that's when *real*
estate begins to come into its own as people
unload their paper and seek a real haven.

When the cost of Bush's war on Iraq passes
the one *trillion* dollar mark - after he
bribed US voters with tax cuts to get
re-elected when he should be hitting
voters with tax hikes for the war

printing presses) that's when
*real* estate seems more
solid that confetti on a
windy day at a country
wedding in Texas.

and not dreadful unionists or child
molesters who vote for the ALP)
there is a mammoth gorilla
that nobody wants to talk
about during the 2007
