Budget Surplus is like a company making a profit or a person having no debt and pay off the mortgage or credit card. Budget Surplus helps government reduces taxes and the economy is better for all. Budget Surplus always good for nation and the economy. On the other hand Budget Deficit and National debt is bad. Labor ruined the economy and wasted money on stuff and left a $300 billion national debt and huge deficits. Budget deficit is always bad for the nation and the economy.

I learned this rhetoric when I watched TV commercials many years ago when the great John Howard was PM of this country and he delivered 12 Budget Surpluses and paid off Labor's debt. Blame everything that is bad on Labor and blame Labor for the debt and blame Labor for the tough measures needed to get back to Budget Surplus. You do not need an education when TV ads and tabloid shows tell us how the economy works.
