The ...I guess leadership of a sort is needed, Anon. The sort of leadership that is willing to step back and let the market sort out corporate losers, allow their assets to be liquidated, and allow their employees to be redeployed into more productive areas of the economy. <br /><br />Right now, America needs a president like Warren Harding, whose hands-off approach to the 1920 depression in the U.S. stopped it from becoming the Great Depression.<br /><br />Government interference in the U.S. auto industry will probably damage GM and Chrysler beyond salvation. Similarly, John Key would do wekll to resist the temptation to interfere in the economic recovery that would happen if the government allowed this to happen.<br /><br /><br /><br />"We believe in tax cuts, we believe in the power of tax cuts, and we will deliver them.” - John Key, 2008.Richard McGrathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-55885510795445576982009-06-05T12:11:11.401+12:002009-06-05T12:11:11.401+12:00"Anon - weak leadership is what we need."..."Anon - weak leadership is what we need."<br /><br />Crap Richard.

Does modern society capitulates to feminazis demands everywhere? It wasn't long ago that a male police (new) recruit was accused of raping a woman (name suppressed) but it turned out the sex was consensual. As a result of this false allegation, this innocent police recruit is trying to fight to get in to the police force, but it has been hindered for some unknown reasons. This is just one of many in recent years.Falafulu Fisinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-23789729983781004322009-06-05T10:43:58.262+12:002009-06-05T10:43:58.262+12:00Crikey, StephenR, it's a very long time indeed...Crikey, StephenR, it's a very long time indeed since someone accused me of being subtle!<br /><br />But yes, I was trying.
