we<00:00:02.919> are<00:00:03.000> going<00:00:03.120> to<00:00:03.280> talk<00:00:03.520> about<00:00:04.160> why<00:00:04.560> growth<00:00:05.560> is
stupid all right this is a thing which
I've<00:00:10.599> been<00:00:10.759> thinking<00:00:11.040> about<00:00:11.280> for<00:00:11.440> a<00:00:11.639> while<00:00:12.240> and
I've been thinking about for a while and
um<00:00:13.400> it<00:00:13.480> was<00:00:13.679> prompted<00:00:14.160> this<00:00:14.280> week<00:00:14.639> by<00:00:14.920> an
um it was prompted this week by an
article<00:00:15.519> which<00:00:15.639> I<00:00:15.799> read<00:00:16.279> in<00:00:16.440> the<00:00:16.560> New<00:00:16.800> Yorker<00:00:17.400> a
good long article about British
economics<00:00:19.640> uh<00:00:19.800> by<00:00:19.920> a<00:00:20.039> guy<00:00:20.199> called<00:00:20.400> Sam<00:00:20.680> Knight
economics uh by a guy called Sam Knight
um<00:00:22.080> where<00:00:22.160> he<00:00:22.279> talks<00:00:22.519> about<00:00:22.760> basically<00:00:23.080> the
collapse of the British economy the
collapse<00:00:25.880> of<00:00:26.000> British<00:00:26.359> politics<00:00:26.920> a<00:00:27.039> lot<00:00:27.119> of
people are looking us saying what's
going<00:00:28.519> on<00:00:28.840> in<00:00:28.960> Britain<00:00:29.240> it's<00:00:29.359> falling<00:00:29.679> apart
going on in Britain it's falling apart
and<00:00:30.880> he<00:00:31.039> interviewed<00:00:31.560> a<00:00:31.759> guy<00:00:31.960> called<00:00:32.719> Mark
and he interviewed a guy called Mark
Carney<00:00:34.079> who<00:00:34.520> is<00:00:34.680> a<00:00:34.840> former<00:00:35.200> governor<00:00:35.559> of<00:00:35.680> the
Carney who is a former governor of the
bank<00:00:36.000> of<00:00:36.160> England<00:00:36.800> he<00:00:36.920> was<00:00:37.040> a<00:00:37.160> governor<00:00:37.399> of<00:00:37.480> the
bank of England he was a governor of the
bank<00:00:37.719> of<00:00:37.800> England<00:00:38.160> back<00:00:38.280> when<00:00:38.399> I<00:00:38.520> was<00:00:38.640> a<00:00:39.039> Trader
bank of England back when I was a Trader
um<00:00:40.800> and<00:00:40.960> Mark<00:00:41.360> Cary<00:00:42.360> had<00:00:43.360> this<00:00:43.600> very<00:00:43.879> piffy<00:00:44.239> way
the British economic problem and I've
got<00:00:48.559> the<00:00:48.680> exact<00:00:48.960> quote<00:00:49.280> here<00:00:50.160> what<00:00:50.280> he<00:00:50.399> said
got the exact quote here what he said
was<00:00:51.000> it's<00:00:51.360> just<00:00:51.840> not<00:00:52.320> that<00:00:52.640> productive<00:00:53.280> an
economy anymore this is Mark Carney
former<00:00:56.680> head<00:00:56.800> of<00:00:56.920> the<00:00:57.000> bank<00:00:57.160> of<00:00:57.559> England<00:00:58.559> the
former head of the bank of England the
problem<00:00:59.000> with<00:00:59.239> Britain<00:00:59.600> is<00:00:59.719> that<00:01:00.079> is<00:01:00.359> just<00:01:00.719> not
problem with Britain is that is just not
that<00:01:01.280> productive<00:01:01.840> an<00:01:02.039> economy<00:01:02.440> and<00:01:02.600> we<00:01:02.719> hear
that productive an economy and we hear
these<00:01:03.239> kinds<00:01:03.440> of<00:01:03.920> arguments<00:01:04.920> all<00:01:05.119> the<00:01:05.360> time<00:01:05.760> on
these kinds of arguments all the time on
the<00:01:06.080> news<00:01:06.920> um<00:01:07.640> from<00:01:07.840> the<00:01:08.000> conservative<00:01:08.439> party
the news um from the conservative party
sometimes<00:01:08.960> even<00:01:09.080> from<00:01:09.200> the<00:01:09.280> labor<00:01:09.560> party<00:01:09.880> the
sometimes even from the labor party the
problem<00:01:10.360> with<00:01:10.560> Britain<00:01:10.920> is<00:01:11.479> we're<00:01:11.720> just<00:01:11.880> not
problem with Britain is we're just not
productive<00:01:12.640> enough<00:01:13.040> we<00:01:13.360> as<00:01:13.600> Britain<00:01:13.920> is<00:01:14.040> a
is lacking we're sort of fundamentally
weak<00:01:19.040> we<00:01:19.119> need<00:01:19.240> to<00:01:19.360> fix<00:01:19.640> productivity<00:01:20.600> and<00:01:21.600> I
weak we need to fix productivity and I
have<00:01:21.960> a<00:01:22.159> problem<00:01:22.439> with<00:01:22.560> this<00:01:22.720> way<00:01:22.840> of
have a problem with this way of
describing<00:01:23.960> the<00:01:24.079> economy<00:01:24.439> and<00:01:24.840> first<00:01:25.000> of<00:01:25.119> all
seeing is living standards falling
specifically<00:01:41.040> in<00:01:41.159> the<00:01:41.280> UK<00:01:41.960> and<00:01:42.079> I<00:01:42.159> think<00:01:42.280> a<00:01:42.360> lot
specifically in the UK and I think a lot
of<00:01:42.640> people<00:01:43.079> who<00:01:43.280> who<00:01:43.680> live<00:01:43.920> in<00:01:44.040> the<00:01:44.159> UK<00:01:44.399> feel
of people who who live in the UK feel
that<00:01:44.799> what<00:01:44.880> we<00:01:45.000> have<00:01:45.119> is<00:01:45.240> a<00:01:45.399> specific<00:01:45.759> UK
living standards are falling for middle
classes<00:01:51.479> all<00:01:51.680> across<00:01:51.960> the<00:01:52.040> world<00:01:52.600> all<00:01:52.799> across
classes all across the world all across
the<00:01:53.159> world<00:01:53.399> so<00:01:53.920> this<00:01:54.040> YouTube<00:01:54.320> channel<00:01:54.520> is
the world so this YouTube channel is
watched<00:01:54.840> all<00:01:54.920> across<00:01:55.159> the<00:01:55.240> world<00:01:55.399> we've<00:01:55.560> got<00:01:55.640> a
watched all across the world we've got a
lot<00:01:55.799> of<00:01:55.880> viewers<00:01:56.640> in<00:01:56.840> America<00:01:57.520> in<00:01:57.680> Australia
and places like Germany the Netherlands
we<00:02:00.680> get<00:02:00.880> messages<00:02:01.399> all<00:02:01.560> the<00:02:01.759> time<00:02:02.039> saying
happening places like Italy and Spain
even<00:02:09.479> a<00:02:09.599> country<00:02:09.840> like<00:02:10.000> Australia<00:02:10.879> which<00:02:11.000> is
generally considered to have strong
living<00:02:13.520> standards<00:02:13.879> a<00:02:14.000> good<00:02:14.160> place<00:02:14.319> to<00:02:14.480> live
living standards a good place to live
living<00:02:14.959> standards<00:02:15.280> are<00:02:15.360> falling<00:02:15.640> there<00:02:15.920> so<00:02:16.720> if
the problem was specifically UK
productivity<00:02:19.920> and<00:02:20.040> I'm<00:02:20.120> not<00:02:20.280> saying<00:02:20.680> we<00:02:20.840> don't
productivity and I'm not saying we don't
have<00:02:21.120> a<00:02:21.280> problem<00:02:21.480> with<00:02:21.800> productivity<00:02:22.800> if<00:02:22.959> that
have a problem with productivity if that
was<00:02:23.280> the<00:02:23.400> main<00:02:23.640> problem<00:02:24.519> why<00:02:24.760> are<00:02:25.200> living
the second thing is to say
if<00:02:31.440> the<00:02:31.680> problem<00:02:32.000> was<00:02:32.280> a<00:02:32.480> lack<00:02:32.680> of<00:02:32.840> growth<00:02:33.120> in
if the problem was a lack of growth in
productivity<00:02:35.280> and<00:02:35.560> I'm<00:02:35.640> not<00:02:35.800> saying<00:02:36.000> we<00:02:36.120> don't
productivity and I'm not saying we don't
have<00:02:36.400> a<00:02:36.560> lack<00:02:36.720> of<00:02:36.840> growth<00:02:37.040> in<00:02:37.440> productivity
have a lack of growth in productivity
why<00:02:38.560> are<00:02:38.760> living<00:02:38.959> standards<00:02:39.519> falling<00:02:40.519> so<00:02:40.680> in
why are living standards falling so in
The<00:02:40.959> Last<00:02:41.239> 5<00:02:41.480> Years<00:02:42.239> specifically<00:02:43.239> we<00:02:43.400> have
The Last 5 Years specifically we have
seen<00:02:44.280> really<00:02:44.720> a<00:02:44.920> collapse<00:02:45.360> in<00:02:45.480> the<00:02:45.599> living
standards of the average British family
this<00:02:48.040> has<00:02:48.159> happened<00:02:48.400> at<00:02:48.519> the<00:02:48.599> same<00:02:48.760> time<00:02:48.920> as
reached a situation now when you know
about<00:02:53.599> half<00:02:54.080> of<00:02:54.239> the<00:02:54.560> families<00:02:54.879> in<00:02:55.000> the
country struggle to simultaneously feed
their<00:02:58.200> kids<00:02:58.560> and<00:02:58.680> turn<00:02:58.879> the<00:02:58.959> heating<00:02:59.239> on<00:02:59.480> in
winter and this has not coincided with a
collapse<00:03:03.840> in<00:03:03.959> in<00:03:04.080> British<00:03:04.519> productivity<00:03:05.519> yeah
collapsing and yet living standards are
collapsing<00:03:12.319> so<00:03:12.519> again<00:03:12.680> we<00:03:12.799> have<00:03:13.040> a<00:03:13.200> second
collapsing so again we have a second
disconnect<00:03:14.159> here<00:03:15.159> but<00:03:15.319> the<00:03:15.480> third<00:03:15.720> thing<00:03:15.920> and
disconnect here but the third thing and
I<00:03:16.120> think<00:03:16.239> the<00:03:16.400> most<00:03:16.599> important<00:03:16.920> disconnect<00:03:17.440> is
why is wealth of the richest people in
the<00:03:29.000> country<00:03:29.840> the<00:03:29.920> richest<00:03:30.239> people<00:03:30.400> in<00:03:30.480> the
are these people's wealth exploding
through<00:03:35.319> the<00:03:35.439> ceiling<00:03:36.280> so<00:03:36.439> I'm<00:03:36.599> sitting<00:03:36.879> here
through the ceiling so I'm sitting here
now<00:03:37.120> we're<00:03:37.239> filming<00:03:37.519> this<00:03:37.640> at<00:03:37.680> the<00:03:37.799> beginning
now we're filming this at the beginning
of<00:03:38.159> April<00:03:38.799> in<00:03:38.959> the<00:03:39.080> last<00:03:39.319> couple<00:03:39.519> of<00:03:39.640> weeks<00:03:39.920> we
have seen almost every single stock
market<00:03:43.640> in<00:03:43.799> the<00:03:44.000> entire<00:03:44.560> world<00:03:45.439> hit<00:03:45.599> a<00:03:45.959> new
record alltime
high<00:03:49.879> does<00:03:50.239> that<00:03:50.480> sound<00:03:50.799> like<00:03:50.920> a<00:03:51.080> world<00:03:51.400> which
productivity growth so we
saw<00:03:57.200> another<00:03:57.480> piece<00:03:57.640> of<00:03:57.760> news<00:03:57.959> that<00:03:58.079> came<00:03:58.239> out

problem is productivity growth do you
not<00:05:09.680> think<00:05:09.800> there<00:05:09.960> might<00:05:10.120> be<00:05:10.240> a<00:05:10.320> deeper
not think there might be a deeper
problem<00:05:10.840> with<00:05:10.960> inequality<00:05:11.639> so<00:05:12.360> I<00:05:12.440> think<00:05:12.560> we
problem with inequality so I think we
need<00:05:12.759> to<00:05:12.880> look<00:05:13.039> a<00:05:13.160> little<00:05:13.320> bit<00:05:13.479> closer<00:05:13.800> at<00:05:13.919> who
need to look a little bit closer at who
this<00:05:14.199> guy<00:05:14.360> Mark<00:05:14.600> car<00:05:14.960> is<00:05:15.160> right<00:05:15.240> so<00:05:15.400> Mark<00:05:15.680> car
this guy Mark car is right so Mark car
as<00:05:16.080> I've<00:05:16.479> said<00:05:17.479> was<00:05:17.720> former<00:05:18.280> head<00:05:18.600> of<00:05:19.360> the<00:05:19.520> bank
as I've said was former head of the bank
of<00:05:19.960> England<00:05:20.960> he's<00:05:21.120> actually<00:05:21.319> a<00:05:21.479> Canadian<00:05:21.880> he's
of England he's actually a Canadian he's
not<00:05:22.199> British<00:05:22.479> before<00:05:22.680> that<00:05:22.840> he<00:05:22.919> was<00:05:23.039> head<00:05:23.160> of
not British before that he was head of
the<00:05:23.319> Bank<00:05:23.479> of<00:05:23.600> Canada<00:05:24.440> and<00:05:24.600> before<00:05:24.919> that<00:05:25.120> he
the Bank of Canada and before that he
was<00:05:25.800> a<00:05:26.240> very<00:05:26.440> well-paid<00:05:26.720> Banker<00:05:27.039> of<00:05:27.120> a<00:05:27.240> golden
was a very well-paid Banker of a golden
sack<00:05:27.880> so<00:05:28.240> what<00:05:28.360> you<00:05:28.479> have<00:05:28.680> here<00:05:28.800> is<00:05:28.960> a<00:05:29.080> very
who has been very well paid throughout
his<00:05:32.600> career<00:05:33.000> I'm<00:05:33.120> sure<00:05:33.479> him<00:05:33.639> and<00:05:33.800> his<00:05:33.919> family
his career I'm sure him and his family
are<00:05:34.240> all<00:05:34.440> very<00:05:34.639> rich<00:05:35.319> they<00:05:35.440> are<00:05:35.639> part<00:05:35.840> of<00:05:36.000> a
are all very rich they are part of a
class<00:05:36.479> of<00:05:36.680> very<00:05:36.840> wealthy<00:05:37.160> people<00:05:37.400> who<00:05:37.520> are
living standards are increasing very
rapidly<00:05:42.960> turning<00:05:43.400> around<00:05:43.639> to<00:05:43.840> you<00:05:44.120> and<00:05:44.240> saying
rapidly turning around to you and saying
the<00:05:44.639> problem<00:05:44.840> is<00:05:45.120> productivity<00:05:46.120> you<00:05:46.400> guys<00:05:46.639> are
just not productive enough and I
think<00:05:51.360> what<00:05:51.520> we<00:05:51.759> have<00:05:52.440> here<00:05:53.440> is<00:05:53.720> one<00:05:53.919> single
think what we have here is one single
example<00:05:54.600> of<00:05:54.720> a<00:05:54.840> much<00:05:55.039> broader<00:05:55.520> problem<00:05:56.280> which
basically GDP per worker or sometimes
it's<00:06:30.400> GDP<00:06:30.960> per<00:06:31.240> hour<00:06:32.360> worked<00:06:33.360> so<00:06:33.599> essentially
unless you know people are working
rapidly<00:06:36.080> more<00:06:36.280> hours<00:06:36.680> which<00:06:36.919> in<00:06:37.039> the<00:06:37.120> UK<00:06:37.400> they
rapidly more hours which in the UK they
are<00:06:38.520> essentially<00:06:39.280> it<00:06:39.400> comes<00:06:39.599> down<00:06:39.720> to<00:06:39.880> GDP
growth and these guys are basically
saying<00:06:42.039> the<00:06:42.120> reason<00:06:42.360> you're<00:06:42.560> poor<00:06:43.560> is<00:06:43.720> because
saying the reason you're poor is because
GDP<00:06:44.680> growth<00:06:45.680> is<00:06:46.000> is<00:06:46.160> not<00:06:46.360> high<00:06:46.960> enough<00:06:47.960> and<00:06:48.759> um
GDP growth is is not high enough and um
first<00:06:50.160> to<00:06:50.280> say<00:06:50.599> GDP<00:06:50.960> is<00:06:51.080> not<00:06:51.280> is<00:06:51.360> not<00:06:51.520> falling
first to say GDP is not is not falling
GDP<00:06:52.560> of<00:06:52.680> the<00:06:52.759> UK<00:06:53.080> now<00:06:53.240> is<00:06:53.400> higher<00:06:53.720> than<00:06:53.840> it<00:06:53.960> was
GDP of the UK now is higher than it was
before<00:06:54.639> covid<00:06:54.960> GDP<00:06:55.440> of<00:06:55.639> of<00:06:55.840> almost<00:06:56.160> every
before covid GDP of of almost every
Western<00:06:56.759> country<00:06:57.000> is<00:06:57.120> higher<00:06:57.360> now<00:06:57.479> than<00:06:57.599> it
was before covid GDP is enormously
higher<00:07:00.360> than<00:07:00.479> it<00:07:00.560> was<00:07:00.720> 30<00:07:01.000> 40<00:07:01.319> 5050<00:07:01.639> years<00:07:01.840> ago
higher than it was 30 40 5050 years ago
when<00:07:02.440> people<00:07:02.639> like<00:07:02.879> my<00:07:03.120> dad<00:07:03.639> possibly<00:07:04.039> your
when people like my dad possibly your
dad<00:07:04.639> were<00:07:04.840> able<00:07:05.120> to<00:07:05.319> work<00:07:05.599> regular<00:07:06.000> jobs<00:07:06.319> and
dad were able to work regular jobs and
buy<00:07:07.080> houses<00:07:08.080> um<00:07:08.400> GDP<00:07:08.879> goes<00:07:09.120> up<00:07:09.280> and<00:07:09.400> up<00:07:09.560> and<00:07:09.680> up
buy houses um GDP goes up and up and up
and<00:07:09.919> up<00:07:10.039> and<00:07:10.479> up<00:07:11.479> the<00:07:11.639> wealth<00:07:11.800> of<00:07:11.919> the<00:07:12.000> richest
and up and up the wealth of the richest
goes<00:07:12.479> up<00:07:12.599> and<00:07:12.720> up<00:07:12.840> and<00:07:13.000> up<00:07:13.240> living<00:07:13.479> stands<00:07:13.840> for
goes up and up and up living stands for
the<00:07:14.080> rich<00:07:14.280> go<00:07:14.440> up<00:07:14.560> and<00:07:14.680> up<00:07:14.800> and<00:07:15.240> up<00:07:16.240> Ordinary
the rich go up and up and up Ordinary
People<00:07:17.120> are<00:07:17.400> are<00:07:17.560> really<00:07:17.840> getting<00:07:18.080> poor<00:07:18.479> very
People are are really getting poor very
rapidly<00:07:20.599> and<00:07:20.800> wealthy<00:07:21.199> men<00:07:21.960> like<00:07:22.120> Mark<00:07:22.800> Carney
rapidly and wealthy men like Mark Carney
turn<00:07:24.080> around<00:07:24.280> and<00:07:24.400> say<00:07:24.599> it's<00:07:24.800> because<00:07:25.080> your
turn around and say it's because your
your<00:07:25.680> productivity<00:07:26.240> is<00:07:26.360> not<00:07:26.520> good<00:07:26.720> enough<00:07:26.960> and
your productivity is not good enough and
we<00:07:27.360> had<00:07:27.520> an<00:07:28.400> we<00:07:28.520> had<00:07:28.639> a<00:07:28.759> very<00:07:28.919> similar<00:07:29.199> example
we had an we had a very similar example
where<00:07:29.759> Andrew<00:07:30.000> Bailey<00:07:30.400> who<00:07:30.560> is<00:07:30.759> the<00:07:30.919> current
where Andrew Bailey who is the current
governor<00:07:31.560> of<00:07:31.639> the<00:07:31.720> bank<00:07:31.879> of<00:07:32.360> England<00:07:33.360> said
governor of the bank of England said
that<00:07:33.759> inflation<00:07:34.280> is<00:07:34.560> is<00:07:34.759> your<00:07:35.000> fault<00:07:35.400> for
that inflation is is your fault for
asking<00:07:35.879> for<00:07:36.080> high<00:07:36.280> wages<00:07:36.960> and<00:07:37.039> Andrew<00:07:37.360> Bailey
asking for high wages and Andrew Bailey
has<00:07:37.720> paid<00:07:37.919> half<00:07:38.039> a<00:07:38.120> million<00:07:38.400> pounds<00:07:38.639> a<00:07:38.919> year<00:07:40.400> um
there was a conservative politician on
TV<00:07:52.080> just<00:07:52.319> last<00:07:52.520> week<00:07:53.479> saying<00:07:54.120> that<00:07:55.120> living<00:07:55.400> s
is better than than they've ever
been<00:07:58.479> it's<00:07:58.759> very<00:07:59.039> very<00:07:59.560> important<00:08:00.120> that<00:08:00.280> that
what they are obsessed about is growth
and<00:08:18.960> they<00:08:19.080> will<00:08:19.240> always<00:08:19.479> be<00:08:19.639> obsessed<00:08:19.960> about
and they will always be obsessed about
growth<00:08:20.400> and<00:08:20.479> they<00:08:20.560> will<00:08:20.720> always<00:08:20.879> tell<00:08:21.080> you
growth and they will always tell you
that<00:08:21.319> growth<00:08:21.560> is<00:08:21.680> the<00:08:21.840> problem<00:08:22.599> and<00:08:22.759> lack<00:08:22.919> of
productivity is the problem in my
opinion<00:08:25.919> and<00:08:26.240> I've<00:08:26.400> got<00:08:26.560> lots<00:08:26.720> of<00:08:26.840> videos
opinion and I've got lots of videos
where<00:08:27.560> hope<00:08:27.720> I'll<00:08:27.919> convince<00:08:28.280> you<00:08:28.560> we<00:08:28.720> have<00:08:28.840> a
fundamental problem of growing
inequality<00:08:31.360> and<00:08:31.560> what<00:08:31.759> I<00:08:31.960> see<00:08:32.519> is<00:08:33.320> a<00:08:33.519> sick
inequality and what I see is a sick
economy<00:08:34.519> which<00:08:34.880> has<00:08:35.000> a<00:08:35.159> growing<00:08:35.519> cancer<00:08:36.000> of
economy which has a growing cancer of
inequality<00:08:37.560> going<00:08:37.760> to<00:08:37.919> the<00:08:38.120> doctor<00:08:38.560> and<00:08:38.680> the
doctor is saying listen don't worry
about<00:08:40.200> your<00:08:40.640> cancer<00:08:41.640> grow<00:08:41.919> your<00:08:42.039> way<00:08:42.200> out<00:08:42.320> of
about your cancer grow your way out of
it<00:08:43.719> listen<00:08:44.120> we<00:08:44.320> grow<00:08:44.640> year<00:08:44.920> after<00:08:45.399> year<00:08:46.399> and
it listen we grow year after year and
living<00:08:46.839> standards<00:08:47.320> fa<00:08:48.320> and<00:08:48.640> it's<00:08:48.760> not<00:08:48.920> going
living standards fa and it's not going
to<00:08:49.200> work<00:08:49.480> and<00:08:50.399> growth<00:08:50.720> is<00:08:50.920> great<00:08:51.200> but<00:08:51.320> I<00:08:51.399> think
to work and growth is great but I think
it<00:08:51.920> it<00:08:52.000> has<00:08:52.160> become<00:08:52.519> basically<00:08:53.519> a<00:08:53.680> mantra
classes which is don't worry about
anything<00:08:58.680> else<00:08:59.600> just<00:08:59.880> grow<00:09:00.519> just<00:09:00.760> grow<00:09:01.360> and<00:09:01.480> I
point where growth has become
essentially<00:09:04.240> a<00:09:04.399> code<00:09:04.720> word<00:09:05.560> from<00:09:05.760> the<00:09:05.920> very
is I'm an idiot I don't understand this
problem<00:09:10.680> I<00:09:10.800> have<00:09:10.920> no<00:09:11.120> real<00:09:11.360> solutions<00:09:12.120> but
whilst absolutely starving people and
government<00:09:28.000> of<00:09:28.160> the<00:09:28.240> funds<00:09:28.519> they<00:09:28.680> need<00:09:28.880> to
government of the funds they need to
provide<00:09:29.480> any<00:09:29.600> sort<00:09:29.760> of<00:09:29.880> growth<00:09:30.839> we<00:09:30.959> have<00:09:31.079> a
provide any sort of growth we have a
labor<00:09:31.440> government<00:09:31.760> that<00:09:31.839> are<00:09:31.959> going<00:09:32.040> to<00:09:32.200> come
labor government that are going to come
in<00:09:32.680> and<00:09:32.839> their<00:09:33.040> plan<00:09:33.279> is<00:09:33.560> we're<00:09:33.760> going<00:09:33.839> to<00:09:34.120> grow
in and their plan is we're going to grow
the<00:09:34.519> economy<00:09:34.880> without<00:09:35.120> doing<00:09:35.360> any<00:09:35.600> investment
the economy without doing any investment
and<00:09:36.399> without<00:09:36.680> put<00:09:36.959> any<00:09:37.079> money<00:09:37.399> in<00:09:37.560> your
plan and
um<00:09:51.320> I<00:09:51.440> would<00:09:51.640> like<00:09:51.959> you<00:09:52.959> to<00:09:53.160> turn<00:09:53.519> around<00:09:53.920> to
these economists and these politicians
and<00:09:56.079> ask<00:09:56.320> them<00:09:56.839> with<00:09:57.079> what<00:09:57.760> money<00:09:58.760> what<00:09:58.920> money
and ask them with what money what money
