hello
the idea of the package is to encourage people to keep spending $
if people stop spending money, businesses stop making profit, they dont need staff, so they sack them and close down
this drives up un-employment and in turn mangles the economy. if people go and spend this package on plasma tvs, video games, ps3s etc
then this will drive sales for jb hifi etc and they can continue keeping the sales staff on (as an example) - otherwise, they would likely cut down sales staff, as no one is buying
if you can encourage people to spend a bit more then this is a good thing
sure its not a magic silver bullet to fix the economy in five minutes, but certainly a good step and better sitting on their asses, and in 9 months time going, ah yeah well we said the economy was going to be shagged. it will still be shagged, its just a small boost will help invigerate it a bit
and having a wah that you don't get f**k all, is simply the goverment saying, well you earn enough so you don't really need it
there are other people who would benefit from it more, so they can't service everyone, so they have to cap it out somewhere
so dont have a wah
the best thing you can do with this the package when you recieve it (if you do) is to spend it whatever you like locally
so spend it on your car, buy shopping stuff, go out to local restuarants etc and spend it
sure put it on your house mortage too if you like, but it would be better spent into local businesses if you can
and another good thing you can do, is educate your friends on what its purpose is and recommend they spend it on local business and retail etc
ie: dont do wog tactics and keep it under the bed for a rainy day, spend it, or put it in a bank acct if you really want to keep it
at least the bank will beenfit from the cash injection
i think mine will be spent on doing my 200,000 service and timing belt
