Alternative 2015-16 budget - On Line Opinion - 6/5/2015
David Leyonhjelm's "alternative budget" first appeared in AFR, but it's since appeared at Catallaxy (to near universal acclaim, last I looked - a clear warning sign it's a crock, if ever there was one) and now it's got a run on Online Opinion. (Only two comments too - I'm not sure whether that's from the unpopularity of the author or the site.)
I was going to post about it earlier, but really, as no one takes it seriously, I didn't get around to it.
Suffice to say the extensive list of matters on which he thinks its a good idea to cut immediately - foreign aid, research, all capital spending except for defence - shows he's a shallow, nutty ideologue who should stick to brushing cats and patting guns.

just like the bourbons learn nothing at al.
In a weak economy you produce a contractionary budget.
That makes a lot of sense. It worked for Wayne Swan!
