WolfmanOz at the Movies #19

Interest rates and the deficit
What can you do if Australia has the most incompetent central bank in the world? That they have raised interest rates in the midst of an election is the second time it has thrown in its lot with Labor, as it did in 2007. Of course, the problem really is that it has waited this…
