Budget cash splash irresponsible now that emergency is over warns economist Stephen Anthony

Macroeconomics chief economist Stephen Anthony says the budget is a wasted opportunity for repair with too much misdirected spending.

He tells me the cash splash is irresponsible and the private enterprise should not be leading the recovery rather than the taxpayer.
