Yes, it does exist!  We&#8217;re combatting several new situations but at the end of term 6 we were in an extremely healthy economic stage where we managed to start tackling the debt.  Can the surpluses keep going forever though?  Have we really eliminated boom and bust?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are we going to ear our words like Gordon Brown?
