As you say, everyone has had a gut full of spend spend spend but all in the wrong places. Albo makes Allan look like Hawke.Labor are finished in Victoria and it will be the same in the Federal Election. Not expecting anything from the Liberals either and the Greens are not a serious alternative with zero economic policies.I don't blame Jacinta Allan, she inherited a sinking ship from that clown Andrews and Victoria won't recover for a long time regardless of who is running the State. Disagree re Allan, Dan Andrews clone, even the way she speaks (saying things twice) is classic Dan Andrews. She had her chance to make a difference instead she did SFA. Cant wait to see the back of her. Quote Selected 1 Likes Liked by: bratblue

The tariffs he imposed last term cost US jobs and did nothing for the US trade deficit but who says that a POTUS has to learn from their past mistakes?Meanwhile, $15Bn has been wiped off the ASX 😮Economists are warning that the POTUS’s policies will produce stagflation in the US at best, and another GFC at worst.It’s going to be an interesting four years … 😢 Quote Selected 1 Likes Liked by: ElwoodBlues1
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #4282 – February 10, 2025, 10:54:37 pm The next brilliant move by Aurangzeb is to declare that 09 Feb is “Gulf of America Day” and is bigger than the Super Bowl.

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #4283 – February 10, 2025, 11:28:50 pm And how could I have forgotten that the POTUS is going to bring back plastic straws?This was given the same weight as buying Gaza (who from?), annexing Canada, and imposing 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium 🙄And the price of eggs has topped $11 per dozen, up from just over $4 per dozen in Biden’s last month. Of course, the POTUS can’t control the price of eggs, but that’s not what he promised the MAGA suckers. Quote Selected
