as larpy as it sounds, national capitalism is the way forward
free markets inside our borders, protectionist policies when we engage with the outside world to protect our interests
what say you yuge of the idea of lending newly married couples some money and cutting 1/4 of the debt every time they have a baby
It was a legal way of changing laws without actually changing any laws and it being perfectly legal and cut off the middle man. It was sly and completely underhanded.
I left that job because the internal politics got too dirty.
i mean, it's not ideal but it'd be a better system than the current social safety net
it'd be better not to tax and spend in the first place
the government devalues every dollar it takes in taxes
hmm
what say you of roads
@Campin' Carl i'd rather do that than pay a bunch of niggers to have kids
you know what you said before about internal and external trade policies was basically what australia started with
one could make an argument for roads, but you must understand it's going to have a tendency to become a black hole for money
one whole argument for federation was to create a strong external trade border but eliminating internal tariffs between states
infrastructure is important, I don't know anyone that does it well TBH
albert speer was good at that wasnt he?
At the end of the day, you've got to tax someone and it should only be tax to you if you use the facility or item.
I am 100% in favor of use fees
what are they then
roads are the biggest example of where pragmatism gets in the way of that
but most things could be more effectively funded through use fees rather than taxes
@Campin' Carl why did austraila move away from the free internal markets/protected trade engagements arrangement?
commies?
yeah
figures
we had em right up till the 90s
defense is one of the few areas of goverment expenditure that can be justified
regardless of who pays in, everyone inside a state's borders benefits from the spending, and it's not realistic to exclude those who don't pay in from benefitting
could you spell defence properly
no
rrreeee
you'll be alright
this cunt got rid of our protectionist policies

then y'all bought into the f-35
that was abbott i think
yea it was later
he started the downhill slide
should have bought f/a-18 super hornets TBH
we should buy an aircraft carrier or 2 first
