[Great Anastasia]

Imagine a government that knows the difference between positive and negative numbers

Changing circumstances sure have never led to a change in policy. Nope, never. Not ever. I have never heard of this happening.

Anyone who's ever ran a business would know that you only plan to ever spend 90% of your income as changes in the market can wipe that 10% away like that.

A country is not a business. I personally don't think we should have tried to go for a surplus so quickly.

Businesses have an Income, so do governments
Businesses have costs so do governments
It is for the best if both have a little money left over after costs, in the governments place this is called saving for a rainy day, for a business this is called make it worth the effort or profit.

On regards to this surplus stuff, we are repeatedly informed that we are in a boom and that the economy is in a better position than it has been for most of our history, how come when we are making record income are we not able to keep the books level at the bare minimum.

[Mkuki]

I think India and Pakistan will finally go to war. Either that or the North Korean government will do something awesomely stupid. I'm betting on the latter.

[Socialist EU]

I predict the birth of the future Queen of the Commonwealth.
Julia Gillard will lose the Australian federal election in the most humiliating defeat in Australian Federal Politics.

And this is the problem with Labourite/social democratic parties in government for a while. A section of the working class react against these bureaucratic governments and vote for the right.

[Kemalist]

We'll see more troubles and conflicts in the Middle East for sure, as the election process in the US has ended and now Obama administration is ready to take action poking their nose into there as usual.
