There is a rough rule of Australian politics. The Australian Labor Party is only elected when the economic times are bad or about to become so. This happened in 1972, 1983, and 2007. I was impressed by the justice (so rarely experienced) that the economic sh*t hit the fan during GWBs tenure. So there's no money left now? That's the way it works. There's money for everything else. But it is a useful reminder of what we all know to be true: that things are more important than people, and that freedom, as we understand it these days, is about having things.
