Australian Depression

Postby Germanre » Thu Jun 16, 2016 2:03 am

Well a Depression is going to happen in the future if the Libs are going to be still in power, not much economic growth and it’s near the end of the mining boom, and all of us have to live with inflation up 900%. I can tell you that it’s not going to be a walk in the park, and it will be s***.

But there is a good side to it, people will be fed up and get up off their arses and fight the government with para-military groups, How can get the guns, by getting off the black market of course, but time will tell if that will happens or not.

The inflation rate is not that bad. It's 1.3%. Unless there is something you know we don't. Please explain.

we have a big national dept. And that causes more money to be printed, and that links to the inflation rate going up

Not necessarily. This is not Weimar Republic. History does not repeat itself so easily. No sane government would print more money to pay off debt, don't be so daft.

To be fair, we don't even really have a reason to print as much money as the Weimar Republic did. Our debts aren't urgent, most developed nations in modern times accumulate them and no real drastic action is taken against them generally. Half the reason the Germans printed so much money is because the French and British demanded more money than the entire annual GDP of Germany after the peace of Versailles, so before minting like crazy the Weimar Republic had no way to pay off its debts.
No matter what you do, hold back the end of history however you can.

Our national debt is very small compared to other developed nations. The debt to GDP ratio is also smaller than the debt to income ratio of the average Sydney homeowner.

Germanre wrote:And that causes more money to be printed, and that links to the inflation rate going up


Debt does not necessarily result in more money being printed. You have yet to demonstrate that we will have an inflation rate in excess of 900% in the foreseeable future.

So because your side didn't win last time and might not this time... it's the end of the world?

I hope Labor wins just so gay marriage will finally get on to the cards in Australia. Also, I don't think the Liberals have the right economic policies. Those at the bottom seem to be getting left behind. And that horrible immigration system of Australia's needs to end! Imprisoning people in poorer island nations is disgusting. They're like cattle stations.

As an Australian AND an economist, I just have to say, what bull excreted this? I mean dude, yeah the mining boom is over, but news flash, it's been over for about 3 years now, and we've been diversifying since, also the fact that unemployment hasn't gone to the double digits is certainly a good indication that not everyone in Canberra is a clown.
Geez, stop being so over dramatic, I mean our economy is still growing, and what even brought this on? Was it some 'opinion' piece in an unreliable newspaper or what? There is absolutely no source to back this rant of yours up.

Venezuela economy is in the shiter due to basic goods being hoarded and taken out of the country plus the artificial oil prices decrease.

You're refering to the Government artificially decreasing oil prices in Venezuela right?

Your national debt is among the lowest of all advanced economies.
