What the hell are you on about. I try to point out to Peter the Prognosticating Practitioner that economics is a bit more complicated then his pea-brain will allow,you butt in, and now you are telling me about how sweet the Nats are and JPO.
What have i go to do with what Lawrence Gonzi says? What have i got to do with JPO???And what has all this got to do with economics?
Are you seriously following in Peter’s footsteps? (Can someone please insert here a lame joke about Peter’s footsteps and becoming a pope. Its too early in the morning top work it out!)

“Mhux helwin allura dawn jew? But do these people really believe that they can continue to fool the people in their face for ever? Now seriously….”

Yes, the Nats are very sweet, infact. Witness Gonzi this morning feeling so shocked, miskin, that the MLP is talking of electing a leader that – horror of horrors – would manage to instill the right frame of mind for an electoral victory. He has forgotten his standing-ovation-receiving outgoing General Secretary beside him, who, when asked about how the JPO case was handled by the PN, unequivocally stated “My concern was winning the election”.

It was this: “Oh, it’s not so bad; it’s not that different to home.” It’s not that different to home!

The evidence is all there for you to see: the main surges in growth took place during the 1960s boom (it wasn’t called a boom for nothing) and post 1987. Please don’t tell me that your quality of life today in any way compares to your quality of life in 1986.

“Since 1950, the panel found, 13 economies have grown at an average rate of 7% for at least 25 years. These were: Botswana, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Malta, Oman, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.”

The twenty five years certainly did NOT include 1971 – 87.

Albert even you know this! Can you HONESTLY, hand on heart compare our lifestyle today to those years of belt tightening? I thought not:)
