    It starts with Neo-liberalism: https://www.facebook.com/VersoBks/videos/1474184805948145/

    But in order to get away with the underfunding of government services
    that this generates, our government has to ensure that the one thing
    they do fund is propoganda. Here is an example of the result - there
    cannot of course be any proof that this was funded by National, but as
    Dirty Tricks showed, there are ways of getting "willing volunteers" to
    serve their purposes . . .

    http://thespinoff.co.nz/society/06-04-2017/the-strange-case-of-the-disappearing-hamilton-homelessness-survey/
    So yes, let us all blame the victims, while we sell off the provision
    of state services to other organisations who can then be blamed for
    failures - but the blame must go to someone else - "Right"?

    https://michaelpulman.org/2017/04/05/minister-denies-claims-of-reduction-in-funding-for-idea-services/
    No, the budget has not been reduced - it was just never adequate . . .
    "Right"?

    and the squeeze keeps hitting our hospitals http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/91304098/claims-wellington-hospital-has-cut-funding-for-four-mental-health-ward-beds-amid-squeeze
    if the patients can't be kept in hopsital, the problem will
    'disappear'- "Right"?

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/91300586/lower-hutt-tetraplegic-fears-having-to-live-in-van-if-emergency-housing-cant-be-found
    Emergency housing is a privilege, not a right - "Right"?

    The "Right" just know that they are right - "Right"?

    The trouble I have is that it has gone on so long!. There are better
    ways to manage an economy, and we can see the efidence of the
    neo-liberal plague with the decline of the last 8 years - appalling
    inequality, reduced services in health and education and social
    welfare, housing problems, sell-offs of land and companies and
    government entities to foreigners, sharp increase in debt, and now
    lying about surpluses by the government (leaving out major commitments
    would be unacceptable under the requirements that apply to others, and
    were adopted by previous governments.

    Spin does not match substance - we are getting increasing spin and
    vastly reduced substance from a spin-happy government.

    Would that you were correct, Tony. As it is the last 8 years have
    given us high debt, GDP growth almost entirely from a housing bubble,
    increased poverty, lower ownership of our land and companies, higher
    profits going to overseas owners, lower services for health,
    education, clogged roads and little progress on rail, a select few
    profiting from crony capitalism, a shattered reputation for clean and
    green, polluted water and exposure to diseases of poverty, and a
    government that lies about our financial position. Flim flam may be
    all you need, but voters want a bit of substance - most are worse off
    from a period under National.

    This government is streets ahead of the last one and that is why it has served 8 years and it is recognised world wide as a success. What I said is right - we have one of the best performing economies in the world and the last labour governmentt did not lay the foundation for that, in fact they screwed it up.

    Yet another fact-free opinion piece, with no suport for the asertions,
    and no reference to the facts your are attempting to refute. It
    recalls the period just after John Key resigned, when all the National
    Party and the press could come up with as achievements from his period
    as Prime Minister was that he had a knack of lying convincingly. The
    facts are that in all the areas I referred to above, Nw Zealand is in
    a worse position now than when the National-led government took office
    in 2008. At that time Bill English acknowledged that Labour had left
    the country in a strong financial position which helped with his
    initial task of borrowing to support the Aussie banks . . .

    Complete lie. There are far more services available now than 9 years ago.

    housing problems, sell-offs of land and companies and
    government entities to foreigners, sharp increase in debt, and now

    Public debit only had a sharp increase on the current government coming to power and having to address a) Labour's structural "decade of deficits" and b) Christchurch earthquakes. Since then the economy has been carefully managed into structural surplus.

    However we have one of the best performing economies in the world. Must be

    in the absence of a real political opposition.

    Would that you were correct, Tony. As it is the last 8 years have
    given us high debt, GDP growth almost entirely from a housing bubble,
    increased poverty, lower ownership of our land and companies, higher
    profits going to overseas owners, lower services for health,
    education, clogged roads and little progress on rail, a select few
    profiting from crony capitalism, a shattered reputation for clean and
    green, polluted water and exposure to diseases of poverty, and a
    government that lies about our financial position. Flim flam may be
    all you need, but voters want a bit of substance - most are worse off
    from a period under National.
    Your use of sarcasm is getting tiresome - flim flam is your stock in trade, >>> that and lying and abusing people with the use of sarcastic rhetoric.
    This government is streets ahead of the last one and that is why it has
    served
    8 years and it is recognised world wide as a success. What I said is right -
    we
    have one of the best performing economies in the world and the last labour >>> governmentt did not lay the foundation for that, in fact they screwed it up.

    Tony

    Yet another fact-free opinion piece, with no suport for the asertions,
    and no reference to the facts your are attempting to refute. It
    recalls the period just after John Key resigned, when all the National
    Party and the press could come up with as achievements from his period
    as Prime Minister was that he had a knack of lying convincingly. The
    facts are that in all the areas I referred to above, Nw Zealand is in
    a worse position now than when the National-led government took office
    in 2008. At that time Bill English acknowledged that Labour had left
    the country in a strong financial position which helped with his
    initial task of borrowing to support the Aussie banks . . .

    There is plenty more than that and all recent.
    You are full of self-deception and have a complete inability to debate
    without
    lying.
    The rest of the world thinks we are doing just fine thank you very much!
    Of course there are things that could be done better, that is always true,
    but
    we have done so much better than similar countries that you must have a
    problem
    with honesty to argue otherwise.
    Tony

    Give up Tony. Rich is far to brainwashed with Labour bullshit to
    understand anything that doesn't come from Labours spin doctors.

    Where? The NZ economy is envied by governments around the world.

    and we can see the efidence of the
    neo-liberal plague with the decline of the last 8 years - appalling
    inequality,

    "Inequality" is not increasing. You've been shown this many times, but
    continue to regurgitate this lie.

    http://www.stats.govt.nz/browse_for_stats/snapshots-of-nz/nz-social-indicators/Home/Standard%20of%20living/income-inequality.aspx

    reduced services in health and education and social
    welfare,

    Complete lie. There are far more services available now than 9 years ago.

    housing problems, sell-offs of land and companies and
    government entities to foreigners, sharp increase in debt, and now

    Public debit only had a sharp increase on the current government coming to
    power and having to address a) Labour's structural "decade of deficits" and b) Christchurch earthquakes. Since then the economy has been carefully managed into structural
    surplus.


    Hell they've even got an extra BILLION on top of the announced surplus.
    Hardly the sign of a struggling economy :)

    lying about surpluses by the government (leaving out major commitments
    would be unacceptable under the requirements that apply to others, and
    were adopted by previous governments.

    Complete bullshit.


    Spin does not match substance - we are getting increasing spin and
    vastly reduced substance from a spin-happy government.

    Blah blah blah.

    No Rich. The spin is coming from an ever more desperate left. The Greens
    are only interested in the environment and don't give a damn about hat
    people rely ant or need. Labour just keep asking for money so they can
    change the government yet demonstrate in their financial failure that
    they'll increase taxes for all to try and cover their ever more
    financially shonkey policies.

    The left is no longer a threat to the economy and ill remain that way
    till they forget their marxist muppetry and show some common sense.
