Guess who is the little ###### here? Little government..

Welcome to the Big-Government kills it again party.

Liberteapartians, there is a cover charge for you of $500, which includes a copy of: Why Fair Tax is a crock of ######: Masqueraded as fair.

It's not so much that the AUS $ is up as it is that the US $ is down (and by design at that).

Thanks for playing and try again.

Actually it's not just against the AUD, so-called big-government countries all over the world are beating such fragmented governments.

You are beating some countries though, like those with even smaller governments. Ironic.

PS Actually you played [well gambled with no government] and you lost.

Go to your TV, turn it on and watch the streets of Europe as the people are in a fit over the potential cut-back of big Gov.

You might have a point, so in love are the Europeans to big Gov are they that though these countries are financially crumbling.... the people can't let go.

Norway's GDP per capita is almost double that of America. The rest of Europe that has suffered, is suffering because of being tied up with America. They certainly didn't suffer because of big-government.

Better examples are Canada and Australia, who are propelling like there is no recession.

I won't bother mentioning the elephant in the Repub closet - China. Communist, uber big government, growth of 10%, have a GDP the US had in the late 80s, 150 million moving into the middle class strata, $2 trillion in personal savings versus $454 billion of Americans, government building some of the largest companies in the world etc etc etc.

You always sling this ####### out but you never respond to honest questions.

Such as, you keep rattling on about China but when I asked you to tell us the average workers pay, sense of personal freedom and living conditions are in China you don't do it, I want to know if China is the kinda place we should all be trying to relocate to.

You see the Big-Gov model collapsing in other countries and yet that is our fault too.... because we didn't keep their 30 hour work weeks and early retirement afloat.

China is an emerging country Danno.

Actually it's Repubs like yourself who are disingenuous regarding government. I've listened to Repubs and watched fox news for a good five years now, after all I have wealth, yet not once have I seen them mention successful countries with big-governments. They twist any story about an incident in Europe and claim it's the result of big government failure, when it really has nothing to do with it but ignore the failures here.

Katrina was a perfect example in the failure of a fragmented little governments, it was embarrassing actually. As was the financial crisis directly due to the lack of oversight and regulation. How many subprimes or dodgy lenders were there in Canada or Australia?

Excluding the United States, every single country in the top 30 for GDP per capita, has what Repubs and co would call big government. The opposite to this, the liberteapartian way, all third world countries. Sorry dude but Reagan ideologies fail in 2010, accept it or not, that is the reality.

Funny, I've just returned from the socialist stronghold that is Europe and haven't run into any people that are in a fit. In fact, people are getting back to work over there. Not surprising as the Germany economy is on track to grow a solid 3.5% this year. Germany has unemployment rates as low as it hasn't seen since 1992. Damn that government.

Yep. Ireland went the austerity route and they continue to struggle.

-You see, you still don't tell us how the average person is likely to be fairing under the very government you hold up as an example.

-I point out the financial collapse of countries like Spain, Ireland, portugal, Greece, and more on the way.... and you call it "twisting" stories.

-We see the french shutting down the country rather than accepting the truth that people are living a lot longer and retirement needs to change in order to save that system..... and I suppose I am twisting this event too.

Get real dude.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Yep. And yet, the anti government crowd wants to do what hasn't worked anywhere rather than go a path that has proven to produce desirable results.

Well Greece is quite similar to the US actually, very much into personal freedom, no government health care etc etc etc.

Why not look at Canada, Norway, Australia when making these assumptions.

Truly amazing is it not.

It's like you giving someone a detailed plan to the road of success and a high Q.O.L, yet they throw it out and do the exact opposite. Preferring approaches that worked 150 years ago, that are no longer practical in the 21st century.
