The proof of the pudding will be when the debt starts to go down, not forgetting that the 500 billion is just a limit, a buffer.
I guess that fact is being ignored though, it's contrary to the agenda of the complainants.
It depends where you live.
In the American system one billion is 1,000,000,000 and a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 so one trillion is one thousand times one billion.
In the British system one billion is 1,000,000,000,000 and one trillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 so one trillion is one million times one billion.

Could it be that the treasure at that time was not privy to the level of debt created by the previous government?
I think that swannie kept that close to his chest

A3: "Yes, I have noted that there are very few people here that are supporters of Tony Abbott & co."
That would make it a matriarchal left leaning Board with a tenuous grip on research and economics. Hardly a microcosm when one looks at the larger picture:
Primary Vote Seats
Labor ALP 33.4% 55
Coalition 45.6% 90

If he has a mandate the bill will twerk pass through the House of reps and the senate......
