Swan wants 'excessive pessimism' to stop

January 30, 2012 - 10:09AM AAP

Treasurer Wayne Swan has blamed "excessively pessimistic" reporting of Australian economic indicators for keeping local confidence down.

"We've got to get some balance, a reality check if you like, back into that discussion," he told ABC Radio on Monday.

The government had already factored a European recession into its forecasts, he said, and the Australian economy could withstand "the worst the world can throw at us".

Cue the "reject the recession" dancers. Start up a "vote confidence" campaign. Blame your political opponent for "talking down the economy". Put a stop to "excessive pessimism".

It's worth remembering that "con trick" is an abbreviation for "confidence trick". Practically the entire monetary system, economic system and political system is a con game. It stops working when people either get angry or stop playing.

If you enjoy being a rich guy among a lot of poor you don't need to cross the ocean. South-west Sydney will do.

Switzerland, south-east France or Vienna would round out all the reasonable options. Any other place lacks culture or has some hostility.

or you can buy an entire Greek Island! I'd personally prefer Spain as a base but spend most of the time visiting a different country in Europe each year until I had seen all the places I was interested in. Then do it again on another continent. Providing you don't want a life of high luxury, the money should last for a long time.
