Joe Hockey you Idiot

[Dave The Man]

How can we have such an Idiot at our Treasure.

He just thinks anyone can get a Job that is very Easy but UnEmployment is at it�s Highest.

Then the Idiot said Young People can buy a House IF they get a better paid Job.

Yeah I wish it was that Easy.

How did he have a Job in Government?

The really cruel and stupid part is that Hockey is saying out loud that only very well-paid people can or should be able to buy a house, and at the same time he he must know that 80% of jobs are low-paid, and it doesn't matter if you or I get one of the few high-paid jobs 'coz there will still be exactly the same number of Australians who can never hope to buy a home.

This man is scum. I mean seriously scum. He is utterly contemptible. Worse than Abbott.

Despite all the confected outrage does anyone really think what he said was really that bad??????

I know amongst the left they refuse to accept that the people of Australia resoundingly kicked out the useless Gillard Government and seek to smear the Government whenever and for no reason at all, even if they have to try to make something out of nothing.

Out of interest, here is what was said.

Only an idiot would think that what he said is that bad.

Question: You say that housing is affordable, but what about for first home buyers who can�t get on the property ladder, those people that don�t have access to equity in other properties?

Treasurer: Well there are a range of incentives that have been put in place by state governments and others in relation to first home buyers. The starting point for a first homebuyer is to get a good job that pays good money. If you�ve got a good job and it pays good money and you have security in relation to that job, then you can go to the bank and you can borrow money and that�s readily affordable. More affordable than ever to borrow money for a first home now than it has ever been. But, the response for first home buyers is to build more properties. I know, it�s a difficult concept for some to get their heads around, supply and demand, but it�s not that complicated. If you increase supply to meet the demand, then obviously you won�t get the growth in property prices that you may have thought if you have less supply.

Hmm, well if that's the whole statement, he's probably right!

Seems some folks think we should just line up and get given one.

Maybe take a leaf out of a couple of American councils (OMG DID SHE REALLY GO THERE?) one municipality is giving land that's has been confiscated to builders, with the Priviso they build affordable homes. Another is building small homes and giving them to the homeless. Win win, employ the homeless to build the house, give it to them, and the feeling of achievement keeps them working. Self esteem, you can't just give it to people. But you can help them earn it.

Then there is that film director, bought big tracts of mind and is building towns of affordable homes, must to the disgust of the wealthy in the area!

I know so many people who have no idea how to budget, want everything new, and won't do the extra to get ahead. Hockey had a point. Now he needs to stop the perks like negative gearing, and prevent overseas buyers from buying up empires. And get rid of the bloody stamp duty, it's just daylight robbery.

If I was in Joe's position in being able to negative gear all my properties. Hold a massive share portfolio and being able to claim living in my Mrs Home on a weekly basis I would have the same attitude as Joe. Reality is real wages are declining and unemployment is rising. Throw in we are selling off the Farm to the Chinese. Oh surprise Joe is selling off his farm as well. The Born to Rule party are out of touch as always.

How many houses around you are empty who have been sold to foreign buyers? I have at least 7 in a 4 km radius. That is 7 less rentals or purchases from local buyers or renters. That is why the demand is up and that isn't rocket science.

My arms are not attached. Reality appears to be an illusion.

It's a disgrace that Hockey can claim a $250+ a day living away allowance whilst staying in a home both he and his partner own.

It should be $30 a day to cover the cost of utilities and nothing more.

It's a total rort and not surprising Labor is looking the other way on the issue as there members would be just as guilty.

Things don't always work out the way you want.
