OK, they're up. Howard started the election saying he'd "Go for growth" and get unemployment below 4 percent. Now, we're at risk of a world downturn, and only he can keep rates down. Meanwhile, Rudd says he'll razor gang the Public Service to cut costs. I reckon he's got a surprise in store for Howard. While Howard spends like a drunken sailor, as if tomorrow will never come, Rudd will come up with savings by the end of the campaign which will make Labor look responsible in these challenging times.
