tough budget for all....except wealthy mums , page-6

It will be a good thing Labor ran up all that debt.

Howard had featherbedded the budget with way too much welfare pork that was never going to be sustainable. It was basically a booby-trap to try and get rid of it.

It had to go one way or another, if it turns out that debt now means they have to be ruthless to get things back in line I've got no problem.

Idiots will probably interpret that the wrong way, but if we can burn all the parasites taking family tax benefit a & b, baby bonuses, super lumpsums blown on goodies before taking a pension, negative gearing, private health rebates and private school grants, we'll be better going forward.

Before anyone steps up, the IPA has long been critical of Little Johny's corrupt vote buying and you don't get more right wing than the IPA.
