Mortgage Loan

Today I received this email …
is this correct? (below)

NOW THIS IS UNDISPUTABLE!!! NO MATTER WHAT YOUR POLITICAL LEANINGS.

Quoted by : Ross Greenwood of Money News.
Right now the Federal Government is at pains to tell everyone – including us the mug-punters and the International Monetary Fund that it will not exceed its own, self-imposed, borrowing limits. How much? $200 billion. And here’s a worry. If you work in a bank’s money market operation; or if you are a politician; the millions turn into billions and it rolls off the tip of the tongue a bit too easily. But every dollar that is borrowed, some time, has to be repaid. By you, by me and by the rest of the country.
Just after 5 o’clock tonight I did a bit of maths for Jason Morrison. But it’s so staggering its worth repeating now. First though; here’s what Chairman Rudd has been saying about – what he calls – these temporary borrowings. Remember Those Words : Temporary Deficit. But the total Government debt could end up around $200 billion. So here’s a very basic calculation … I used a home loan calculator to work it out … it’s that simple. $200 billion is $200,000 million. The current 10 year Government bond rate is 4.67 per cent. I worked the loan out over a period of 20 years.
Now here’s where it gets scary … Really scary. The repayments on $200 billion come to more than one and a quarter billion dollars – every month – for 20 years. It works out we – as taxpayers – will be repaying $154 billion in interest and principal every year … $733 for every man woman and child – every year. The total interest bill over the 20 years is – get this – $108 billion. Remember, this is a Government that just 18 months ago had NO debt . NO debt. In fact it had enough money to create the Future Fund to pay the future liabilities of public servants’ superannuation … And it had enough to stick $20 billion into the Building Australia Fund last year …

Who were the idiots who voted these spin-doctoring bozo’s into office? (not me,mate)

Alan Jones Comment – this is frightening: Hmmmmm??

He continues… A note that was sent to me which explains that the six leading members of the Government from Mr. Rudd down, the top six have a collective work experience of 181 years, but only 13 in the private sector.

If you take out of those 13 years the number that were spent as trade union lawyers, that total 11, of the 181 years only two years were spent in the private sector.

So the people who will rack up a net Federal debt of a minimum of $188 billion, the highest in our history, have virtually no experience in business.

So out of those 181 years:

- no years spent running their own business
- no years spent starting their own business
- no years spent as a director of a family business or a company
- no years as a director of a public company
- no years in a senior position in a public company
- no years in a senior position in a private company
- no years working in corporate finance
- no years in corporate or business restructuring
- no years working in or with a bank
- no years of experience in the capital markets
- no years in a stock-broking firm
- no years in negotiating debt facilities with banks
- no years running a small business
- no years at the World Bank or IMF or OECD
- no years in Treasury or Finance.

But these people have plunged Australia into unprecedented debt, and now threaten to torpedo employee share schemes which they plainly don’t understand.
Well, in a way you can’t blame them. It is clear the electorate did not do their homework, because the Gov’t is there by right.
If you have read this, you may like to pass it on to your friends as you, them and me and our grandchildren, will be repaying the these debts for years to come…………………………………….
…….. and that scares me for the welfare of our children and grand children!

This is what a fiscal conservative does with our money. I’ve been around long enough to see several cycles of government and the pattern seems to be that Labor run us into the red from Whitlam onwards and when the cart is far enough into the poo, we vote in a conservative government who set about repaying the debt and building wealth. When we are in good enough shape financially, we vote them out and give it back to labor to spend all over again. Sound familiar?

This time we have really blown it. They have not only spent our kids future fund that the Libs built up for us but they have also spent another 200 Billion that we don’t have to put us back in the poo again…. and they call us the lucky country…

Alan Jones.

Isn’t he the one who is in bed with the banks and the Capitalist side of the world?
He can’t see past his next sponsorship deal!

Since he changes his beliefs, as fast as he changes banks (and his statements about them), what will he say, when, or if the Liberal Party, gains control of the government?
