| FaRmLaNd said: To be fair, Australia didn't go into recession and our banking system didn't go kaput during the gfc. Furthermore our government had no debt before the recessions and will be out of it within a few years thanks to the huge revenues that our mining industry is generating (we're going through a mining boom atm). |
Hey i'm not judging Australia. Well outside the ridiciulious overcensorship.
A lot of what it actually does may be beneficial and partly why. Though a lot of people just do see conservative = bad.
A government not having debt is also a Conservative position though. One that American conservatives had forgotten in the past... oh 2 decades.
It's like the difference between companies like Sony and Nintendo.
Also considering a large part of the financial crisis in the US was caused specifically because of the wish for more people to be equal in the american dream.... (home ownership).
