weekend thoughts, page-48

I thought the other day was a classic.

When Barnby Joyce came out with a statement about Australia's debt situation and couldn't sort out his millions from his billions, he was ridiculed and fair enough.

What was more disturbing to me but not unexpected was the fact Glen Stevens of the RBA said with disdain that he had never ever heard a finance minister of any country say that they had a problem.

In other words, it is important never to tell the truth if things are bad, and always put on an optimistic air.

Thanks, yep that should help as optimism will always conquer truth, NOT!
