» Government to pay out $5000 per child   2004-06-20 10:59 ABL

I see. I just put my faith in John Howard. Given the anti PC backlash since his election, he only just managed to disband ATSIC. For the smooth operator he is, he hasn't had a chance to get rid of the office in question? I think he has (special interests) political advantage in keeping it.

It's all about Ricardian equivalence to me. I don't care if the Government funds it's spending by debt or taxation. The level of taxation is what the Government actually spends.

Why will encouraging welfare dependent families to expand help my income to rise if this has to be funded in some way?
