Can I ask , with the AUD down like it is since July , how has
it effected the overall situation, like are interest rates much
change, employment , has inflation resulted , ?


Nothing much yet thanks perhaps due to our constant AUD/ Yen exchange rate - the trade balance is blowing out though. The stock market is up 3% on the year. The economy is slowing but not dramatically yet.

Japan just seem to keep perking

I don't get it because the situation in Japan is the worst it's been since 73-74. Unemployment is still low compared to Europe but rising. GDP has fallen substantially though only a couple of quarters so far I think.

What bothers me is our National debt,

I never knew why Perot was as worried about that as he was (when I lived in the US). Now it's even less of a problem. Social security commitments going forward could be a problem though.
