Or the not so wise depending on your point of view

In a surprise address Australian Treasurer Wayne Swann has given the Republicans some advice, but I doubt any of them will be listening
Republican 'cranks and crazies' the biggest threat to global economy: Swan (http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/political-news/republican-cranks-and-crazies-the-biggest-threat-to-global-economy-swan-20120921-26aos.html)

Time to abandon your reversionist views guys

Except it isn't the Republicans that are preventing a budget deal .

''They hate people that make money, they constantly attack individuals who are successful and employ other Australians "
I see he has a lot in common with our libs and their bug eyed viceral reaction when speaking of the rich .

Yeah I got more... Bob Woodward, in his new book, confirmed what Speaker Bonehead said happened during the negotiations .The Repubics did their part, agreeing on $800 billion in revenue .The President couldn't sell this deal to his side,instead demanding more concessions, and the deal fell apart.
Swann should look closer at the 'crazy' at the top of his government .
