Coalition Policies

Here is my take on two of the best coalition policies and their plans for the future.

Policy #1: Talk about cutting every last cent out of government spending - in an attempt to highlight government debt to create a confected view that "the blue team" are good economic managers - while completely ignoring the nation's real debt problem - which is private mortgages.

Effect #1: Every dumb-arsed bogan who contributed to the private debt problem will start to think they are financial geniuses and try to leverage into yet more debt - while simultaneously telling "youse lot" about that "terrible" government debt.

Policy #2: Do everything possible to dumb down the government's education programmes - get rid of those useless computers in schools, stop the school building programme, defund the trade training centres and stop any progress toward improving teacher skills, knowledge and capability. Oh and kill that completely useless national broadband network.

Effect #2: Revert back to Howard's plan of dumbing down the nation - designed to keep people supporting - "the mighty coalition". Keep Australian's in the dark while feeding them BS. Make sure they aren't educated enough to ask the difficult questions. Don't let the workers gain any more knowledge or information than their bosses and political masters. Keep them in their place while the blues get on with running the place - as they should.

And some people think that these dills are a serious alternative government?
