In Australia at the moment the government thinks they can fix all of the ecconomic woes by giving small cash handouts to all of the disgruntled public. I am not alone in thinking rediculus policy. My boss (who designs and operates ferries) has put it beautifully by saying when you are running your ferry in bad weather, smashing the boat and the passengers to pieces, do you:
- stay wide open throttle, slamming away at 20knots, while going around to the seasick passengers, refunding their tickets, or
- pull back on the throttles and plot a more favorable course through the waves and keep your revinue.

I have a plan which I haven't heard debated. I smsed my gst plan to ABC-local-socialist FM when they had a finance guest on. They appear to have ignored me and now I am gonna burn down their building.
I belive n4rkla is assisting me bomb ABC bloogs and message boards, but I will also put it here.
GST PLAN:
Consumers have a direct incentive to spend like crazy rather than paying off debts, using pokies or being boring and saving it. Things will sell like hotcakes. Out they go! Out they go!
I am but a lowly naval architect and I am trying to work out why this isn't an option.
Who else (of us privateers) wants a new CST mast with 10% off the marked price?
