I’ve been reading bleak economy forecasts for many years and they no longer bother me, good news doesn’t sell.
I view them the same way that everything will give you cancer.
The annoying thing is they can reduce consumer confidence and seems to be self perpetuating.
Finally, politicians love scarcity either real or imaginary to push some agenda.
What I found puzzling was Swan’s optimism vs Hockey’s pessimism to introduce spending cuts. What is the truth? How bad is it really? Pollies and the media will never tell us that everything is just peachy.
