You have some underlying truths in your post, however history has shown time and time again that the left side of polotics with its idealistic dreams always spends up the kitty.
Yes no matter which way it goes you get a bunch of pollies.....but the lesser of the two evils is more what this is about. After the Menzies years we had Whitlam and hawke/Keating and now Rudd. Fraser did not help that much but you have to admit that the Howard years were some of the best we have seen in 30 or so, and remember the first half of it was not on the back of a mining boom at all, it was bloody tough beginnings.
Yes it is true the worlds GFC was going to have an impact on everyone even if Howards team were still in, but by now we would be in far better shape had they remained there, have a look at Torres post here
