But he would spend more

by Whaleoil on October 31, 2011

Phil Goff is talking about debt:

Debt is out of control … we’ve been downgraded for the first time in 13 years. Labour has a serious plan to deal with that debt. We’ve got to get that debt down.”

Mr Goff said the party’s policies were fully costed and affordable.

 Labour has promised to spend $16 billion more than National so far in this election, that is going to have to be funded from debt. It isn;t really credible for Phil Goff to talk about paying down debt when his own spending plans massively increase it.

    goff talks so much crap he believes himself… can’t tell truth from fiction. I think the problem has a medical name. Mind you, he is the labour ‘ sacrificial lamb’  so has no concerns about going forward.

    Phil-in called Key a liar on the radio for saying the EXTRA DEBT was $16 billion but neither he nor Silent T have given their policy costings yet.

    Now you can also hear the desperation creeping into the voice of Liarbore’s Nightwatchman. Similar to Klark at the same stage in 2008 when she realised the campaign on TRUST was not working and it changed to an all out smear attack on John Key.

    And we know how that worked out.

    The TV  ‘debate’  should be fun tonight. No doubt John Key will muff it at some stage because he’s real.

    They prattle on about “not selling your ladder” when you’re in a hole…can’t someone point out that the *first* thing you do is lay off with the shovelling?
