Australia Sets Stimulus Example, RNC Burns Paul Hogan In Effigy

Government of the people, for the people.

How do the GOP, RNC and Michael Steele's of the world explain this:

Australia's government has announced a 42bn Australian dollar ($26.5bn; £19bn) stimulus plan, targeting infrastructure and those on low incomes.

The country's Treasurer, Wayne Swan, said that A$28.8bn would be invested in schools, housing and roads.

"To support jobs in the middle of a severe global recession, the government must stimulate the economy in the most immediate manner possible," said Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

That's how the rest of the civilized world works, they invest and stimulate their own economy when times are bad.
