Where is FDR when we need him?

Indeed ! My favourite US president and the man who not only boosted millions of Yanks into the Middle Class but set the US up for decades of prosperity. Gradually undone by Reaganomics..they thought FDR was a traitor to his class.

The alleged PM of Australia Scott Morrison (responsible for that ludicrous "where the hell are you" PR campaign when he was an advertising "guru") has announced that all unemployed and pensioner Aussies will get the grand sum OF $500 !!!!! TO GO OUT AND SPEND BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVRIUS THING IS FUCKIGN THE ECONOMY.

and fuck this new keyboard that has no little light that goes on when you're on caps.

500 frigging $$$..just about pay an electricity bill.

When the former (left wing) Labor PM Kevin Rudd did similar he gave everyone $1500 and saved Australia from the financial meltdown. 500? hasn't the goose heard of INFLATION ?

How much is Boris going to give Brits to spend?
