My parents certainly don't work with their employees, and since I'm neither a land owner nor a business owner, I can hardly be classed as anywhere near middle class. :( |

well, are they full-on capitalists or are they somewhere between the workingman and the capitalists? petty bourgeoisie is the best term i have atm, despite them not working alongside their employees :p
business owners, but not rupert murdoch business owners. petty bourgeoisie is the best 19th century term you'll get to explain where your pares are in the 21st century. |

Just after 5 o'clock tonight I did a bit of maths for Jason Morrison. But it's so staggering its worth repeating now. First though ... here's what Chairman Rudd has been saying about - what he calls - these temporary borrowings. Remember those words ... temporary deficit ... but the total Government debt could end up around $200 billion.
So here's a very basic calculation ... I used a home loan calculator to work it out ... it's that simple.
$200 billion is $200,000 million. The current 10 year Government bond rate is 4.67 per cent. I worked the loan out over a period of 20 years.
Now here's where it gets scary ... really scary.
The repayments on $200 billion come to more than one and a quarter billion dollars - every month - for 20 years. It works out we - as taxpayers - will be repaying $15.4 billion in interest and principal every year ... $733 for every man woman and child - every year.
The total interest bill over the 20 years is - get this - $108 billion.
And remember, this is a Government that just 18 months ago had NO debt .. NO debt. In fact it had enough money to create the Future Fund to pay the future liabilities of public servants' superannuation ... and it had enough to stick $20 billion into the Building Australia Fund last year ...

How's that $900 looking? Attractive? |
