IAN McAULEY. Don’t be distracted by the Coalition’s promise of a budget surplus
A government’s budget surplus or deficit is meaningless unless it’s carefully interpreted and is seen as only one of many indicators of a government’s economic competence. There’s nothing intrinsically good about a budget surplus. Continue reading »
