LtE's 12/3

Governments have no money of their own; they only have what they take from citizens, (High inflation, slow growth to shape budget, 12/03).







So, even if Jim Chalmers did “splash” other people’s money around to “boost the economy” it’d only be a short-term sugar-hit followed by a major depressive episode.







There’s only three ways to create wealth and Labor is attacking all of them.







To create wealth you can dig something up and sell it (mining), you can grow/catch/gather something and sell it (farming, fishing, forestry), or you can buy things to make into other things and sell them (manufacturing).







Labor is crushing them all in the name of “climate” when there’s no definitive evidence these industries have any effect whatsoever on global average temperatures.







Without complete reversals of Labor’s policies on climate, energy, immigration, mining, farming/fishing/forestry, and manufacturing, inflation will keep rising, standards of living will keep falling, and the economy will continue to weaken.







Only One Nation has the common sense policies based on economic and scientific realism to restore our living standards and return us to prosperity.
