The late, great Ronald Reagan once said, "We don't have inflation because we are living too well, we have it because government is living too well." The late, great Margaret Thatcher once said, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Philip Musumeci would do well to read more Reagan and Thatcher quotes so he stops believing things that just aren't true. Rhiannon, Kewarra Beach

Australian Debt Clock
Total Australian Credit outstanding includes all debt and equity outstanding of the domestic non-financial sectors. Total Australian Credit has grown from AU$787.7 billion in December 1989 to AU$6.3 trillion in December 2016; an increase of a little over 800% over a 27 year period.

this morning (20/5), total Australian government debt had just passed $1,517,266,500,000 - over 1.5 trillion dollars - and it was climbing at an eye-watering speed. But the ALP and LNP plan to add another 220 to 230 billion dollars and neither has a plan to pay it back. They seem to be actually planning to crash the economy so we fall into the hands of foreign megabanks. Cynical Simon, Earlville
I'm 100% over scaremongering about flu and flurona and covid and colds. Each person is responsible for maintaining their own health. If you choose a bad diet and no exercise and never go outside you will get sick with whatever. That's on you, not me. I will not be locked down again because of the bad habits of the dumbest people and the insane whims of foreign control freaks. Charlene, Smithfield
Raymond (20/5). Medicare is inefficient and is openly rorted. Bank deregulation made the poor poorer and the rich richer. Airline deregulation made busy routes cheaper but regional routes dearer, severely damaging regional centres. Net zero by 2050 is code for sending our remaining manufacturing to China while quadrupling the price of fuel and electricity here - all while China opens a new coal power station every 10 days. Put the green Kool-aide down, Ray, before you drown in it. Haley, Kairi
Probably the biggest criminal act ever planned by our major political parties is described in the UAP's page three advertisement in the Cairns Post on May, 20 - handing control of our health services to the WHO, the foreign organisation that got so many details about Covid-19 completely wrong. This plan by Labor and Liberal is nothing less than wholesale treason. Terry, Cairns
One very salient detail missing from the article about the serial independent Leichhardt political candidate now running in Kennedy (CP, 20/05) is that Clive Palmer successfully sued her in court to recover misappropriated funds. Economist, Cairns
RE: "Scary climate stats revealed" (CP, 20/5). As we all know by now, the only thing the UN's IPCC has is scary yarns. Rising seas were supposed to be flooding Cairns 12 years ago. But they want us to pretend they never said that. Mariner, Portsmith
"Neoen said it will provide enough energy to power 100,000 Queensland homes." (CP, 19/05). Really? Even when there's no wind for three days, as happens several times a year? 100,000 homes x 20kWh/day x 3 days = 6,000,000 kWh (6,000 MWh). One MWh of battery storage costs $1 million, so the three day, 100,000-home battery will cost $6 billion dollars. So much for "cheaper". Environmentalist, Herberton
Wow, David Penberthy came perilously close to questioning the science and ridiculing the experts in his column on Friday. Watch out, David, the Thought Police will be coming for you next. Allen, Westcourt
I love your word "sqaundermonkies", Rebel (18/5), I'll be stealing that. It perfectly describes the wanton waste of the cash we struggle to earn by those who don't appreciate its real value. Monica, White Rock
The Greens can never grasp that there's no such thing as a free lunch - or a free house (CP, 20/5). 50,000 "modest houses" a year at $700,000 each is $35 billion each year extracted from taxpayers pockets that won't be going to hospitals, schools or police. Kevin, Manunda
