Labour govt 2020-23

[iceman]

The jobless rate remarkably also at 30 year lows.

Jobs, Jobs and more jobs.

And the Jobseeker numbers have sky rocketed to 140,000, the highest level ever by far. 6% of the working age population.
Also 368,000 people now receiving a main benefit, up from 290,000 when Labour took charge.
The numbers manipulation by this Government doesn not add up

Population growth is 2% even without National's migration policies.

Longer term the boomers are nearing retirement so have more health issues and problems with employment (ACC, occupational health and safety issues).

It's a topic I wrote my thesis on actually (keeping aged employees in a manual industry).

These poor souls better hope the retirement age isn't increased to 67.

Would you like people's living standards to decline by -5%?

Look closely - they already have in places around Auckland during & as a result of Lock downs

Probably a multiple of that for some, and business owners

Time to put the selective antenae back in the box and start looking around in the real world,
instead of regurgitating the official spin lines that many are starting doubt in growing numbers

they'd be well and truly stuffed in today's times if they were reliant on meagre interest on their
lifetime's savings courtesy of the economic tricks the current mob have pulled - wouldn't they ?

Not even a finger lifted on the Bank's continuing large scale heist of profits out of the country..
excessive profiteering - a bunch of money grabbing cartels holding the nation to ransom.

Are the same Labour clowns who attacked Supermarkets, any sort of Trusts located here, Foreign
companies etc still within Labour ranks today or too tired / asleep under the benches until kicked
hard to make their way to the exit when Labour finally get flushed away again ?

And that doesn't include the spending power of those savings having been massively slaughtered
in just two years with Robertson's 'Rob the Reserve Bank' to produce next to no tangible benefit
to carry forward on 'mortgage the future on the never never' plan

On that basis Labour have heisted a huge destruction of real value on all Kiwi's - the man on the
street who once was grateful for a little extra, not realising what was come are now left struggling
as inflation hits, fuel prices roll in, rents rise, housing becomes near on impossible (and that's before
the tide goes back out mopping up the extra liquidity fired into the system)


Can anyone name something that hasn't increased in price courtesy of Labour's clueless economic
ditherings, imposed add-on taxes, meddling or lack of control over things ?


Similar symptoms seen out on the street have in past been the undoing of previous Labour
Governments too. Stab the man on the street and you can call your term very soon over


The current lot are probably to busy spinning to notice what they have inflicted on the faithful
and failed to deliver on in promises, on which a hefty price for such inattention should be expected
to land in the laps of the Spinning leaders


No amount of Spinning, Feel good efforts, Lies or Bribes will save the day once the momentum starts.


Helen Clark will be all too aware of exactly that, and aware of exactly the grave risk
Ardern and her distracted comrades face in the not so distant future, brought forward
by continuing to fail to address the issues over a long period.

Indeed, "struggling" businesses are in the process of having a free year.

The cost of living crisis is happening today but no increased wages until April.

[Marilyn Munroe]

Annual inflation at 5.9%

Is Grant Robertson our Recep Tayyip Erdoğan?

Boop boop de do

He would have to be religious for that. Scomo and lux have that well covered.

A free year in which many have barely (if they have survived at all)

Do your numbers - the bulk of NZ businesses by number are small outfits not the large
multinational jobs.

How many of the mid to smaller ones have not gone to the wall already on the miniscule Govt Assistance
plus "you must keep staff onboard subsidy" already is a miracle

Will there be any rises in April - all the broken and damaged businesses can't afford it now
after how many weeks locked down up Auckland & up north

Perhaps Govt should further subside jobs they want kept - 50/50 sounds fair after the
past damage Govt has inflicted on business through no fault of the businesses themselves.

The alternative could be No Business ; therefore No Staff & No jobs - sound fair ?

Marilyn - you missed factoring in the large Artificial stimulus Robertson has
organised borrowing from the RB to basically keep folk locked up

Bound to be at least 100% increase injected

No real increase in real assets

Notional 50% invisible inflation to add in

You know the deal - here's a Buck worth of Kiwi Fiat exchange - now it buys and has
real value of just 50% of what it bought before Labour's "Rob the Reserve Bank" occurred


Borrow now to have a cake to eat each week for the 12 weeks and some poor sucker lands
having to pay for it in 25, 40 or 50 years time.. hoping things actually look better in future

No real tangible benefit produced, going forward for a very large $100 B Debt on the ledger

Get the picture ?


As things stand now just $4 Bill left.

Nothing further offered from Govt and Omicron now starting to sweep the country with massive staff
shortages, absenteeism etc expected in next few months

It looks like everyone is on their own now .. all businesses swim sink whatever .. Govt
appear have run out of / unwilling to assign more Loot to cover their FAILURE to control
things at the Border .. YET AGAIN .. and / or been caught napping in their Holiday deck chairs

Lovely Stuff .. Lovely Government .. Spin well .. What a shame
