    Post tax cuts or infrastructure spending

    so as not to hijack another thread i thought i would staet here,over the past few days a lot has been said in the media on this subject.in my opinion what they say in regards to tax cuts only driving interest rates up seems correct ,so i thought i would take a poll and see what others thought......after all who want's higher interest rates!

    And that is about what I expect the other side to offer.

    Like loanrangie, I don't think the best answer is either/or. Also needs to be pointed out that a substantial part of the tax cuts (as with previous ones) are not in fact tax cuts at all, but restoration of the status quo before bracket creep.

    $34 billion in tax cuts, over the five years as suggested by the prime minister, is about $7b a year... not much...

    I'd like to see it put into infrastructure etc, but, I have a trust problem...

    Prior to the 1993 election, (then) PM Keating said, Pacific Hwy dual carriageway by year 2000.
    He was elected, but that project didn't happen...

    (he did however note climate change and the inland being unusable for farming within 30 years, but did nothing).

    14 years after that election, only a third of the Pac Hwy is dual...

    and maybe another 20 years before its done, if ever....

    $7billion a year wont go far...too may demands on our dilapidated roads, hospitals, schools etc...

    sadly, no pollie or party have any real long term visions for Australia

    3 years is the long term these days...

    I like that except the bstards will just increase interest rates so that the tax cuts will have nil effect.

    Let's spend some now on infrastructure so we don't have to pay more tax later on when it completely falls apart and we are driving around potholes in our highways...... OK more than we do now! LOL
