Trade surplus up to $1.2b
Have a look at this EZ: https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...radestats.html
Digest the stats and you give me your Positives and Negatives of our exports that drove trade surplus up to $1.2b.
This is the real picture of our economy right now, not your long list of negatives National is achieving in your mind and how Labour and the Greens would do so much better. These are cold hard facts that you hate & I bet my bottom dollar your try your best to downgrade these stats the same way you tried & failed to discredit these stats. http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/statistics/k...rrent_account/ The current account balance is there to remind us all just how much overspending by the last wretched Labour Govt. there was. Add the Greens. Honi, Winnie-the-Pooh & the fat man into the mix and you have got a comedy show wrecking ball on the way to bankrupting the country for good.
Stats are are good indicator, in fact the real indicator with whats happening concerning our economy and how well our Govt. is doing is it not? You might not like this stat too EZ. http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/statistics/k...ousehold_debt/ Just like the current account balance, the household debt swing shaply downwards after our current National Govt. came into power. Look at this chart http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/statistics/k...ortgage_rates/ and that's partly the reason why. You can't drive interest rates down that low in good time by over spending.
National has done a impressively splendid job in the last two terms & I feel they have set themselves beautifully to do better than that in their third term. Of course if the Comedy show from the Marxist Circus manage to con the country and get in, they will do just fine riding National success wave until that runs out of steam, then the worm will turn. It happened(worm chart) very quickly for National towards the positive back in 2008, but I'm afraid the Left plays the long slow drain game. Once they commit to spending on the lazy and useless, only National can save us ... again, like they always do.
EZ, I'd be really interested in your reply.
