An incredible but insane supporter of the Rudd government

Comments on Mike Steketee “Howard's legacy was money for the stimulus we had to have”, 17/10/2009, http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26216016-5013457,00.html

Mike Steketee, you sound like a government agent, don't you?

You only acknowledge a part of the legacy of the Howard government left for the Rudd government, that is, the government could afford to spend more money due to no debt and the projected surplus, but you ignore the key fact that the Australian economy had been in an excellent shape and much sounder than any other industrialised economies. Why did you do that, just to side with the Rudd government to show your loyalty, or allegiance? That is appalling.

Secondly, few people have argued that the government should not have put stimulus to the economy, but many decent people argue how the stimulus was put and how it has been implemented.

It has been shown that at least part the cash handouts were saved instead of being spent to stimulate the economy. Is using borrowed money to hand out for people to save a sound fiscal measure by any sane people or government?

Further, it has been shown the huge waste and ineffectiveness of the building school hall projects. Is that a proper way to spend taxpayers' money? Or is that a sound fiscal policy?

If you want to support the government for whatever it is doing, just say that and that will be better than you waste readers' time and the Australian's space.

You are no difference from the government of waste. You have shown that you are doing just the same.

That is the better word I would give you, just for courtesy.
