    Chris if inflation will be 5.9% under national i hate to think what it would be under labour when you consider that your economic plan is:

    1) Larger deficits to create jobs
    2) More substantive ETS to impose larger costs on firms
    3) Monetary policy which doesnt target inflation

    Yet another example of labout going for the headline or scary number with little substance or plan to do anything different.

    Voters are smarter than that – and it reflects on the poll results – but hey keep it up.

    @chris – I remember the run up to the 2008 election, National gave nothing away – where’s the policy? 8O
    All in good time. :-D

    Chris, you mean like the “0.9 percent” scary number, being the GDP growth over the next 7 years resulting from the tax swindle budget? I see your point.

    Nick C – all of a sudden 5.9% inflation is OK and you’re not criticising NACT for it? Why? Its going to be a record for recent history.

    Point one of National’s plan – larger deficits to create hardly any jobs but to pay out big tax breaks to those on >$150K.

    That’s not really investing in creating an advanced industrial and advanced services based economy, is it?
