I think things are going to get worse in Australia before they get better. The last recession we had was in the 90's and I guess there's not much anyone can do about it when we have another one.

Naaah ! That can not be that wrong 
As long as SUPERMAN is on the watch.

Their credit rating doesn't mean ****.They'll give anyone AAA if it means more money in their pockets
that USA debt clock is pretty amazing, interesting going back in time to see the debt when George W was in power and see the escalation over the following years as USA did its war on terror and fannie may and freddie what's his name and all the greedy buggers, I feel slightly nervous about how our supposed economists are forecasting the economy and reserve bank rate rises when in the paper this morning now its potential rate cuts, do they really know ****e from sawdust these people in power I get the feeling they don't and its just one big eff'n gamble
