"You cannot reduce the debt burden by shrinking the economy, only by growing your way out of it."

But how do you spend money you havent got to do it?

soros has an agenda though.

But how do you spend money you havent got to do it

QE,WARS,24 BILLION OLYMPICS,(BIDDED FOR WORLD CUP TOO!)billions EURO BAILOUT FUNDS,

save a few quid off our EU budget and cut legal aid not giving people from abroad free health care stop giving free housing to people from abroad etc

Sell  the crown  jewels
recession over

too  easy for osborne  to understand

How much are they worth and who owns them? most were gifts queen Vic so not the states to sell

But how do you spend money you havent got to do it?

Stop wasteing that we have got for a start>

Shrink central and local government
renegotiate PFIs
stop feeding outsourcing spivs
cut overseas aid
get out of Europe
reduce NI contributions for the young instead of tax handouts for the rich

then channel the money into
infrastructure products
house building
a National Investment bank

There may be faults in the above but better than fretting over whether we need a pasty tax or not.

I would change house building for manufacturing too many people live here already thats why we are in the sh1t in the first place

In normal circumstances reductions in spending would lead to scope for tax cuts. The huge deficit we have means it is the worst of worlds reduce spending and increasing taxes. This inevitably will lead to a contraction. The big mistake the coalition made was to not slash spending at the start. They would then have had a chance of some sign of recovery by 2015.

He's wrong, he's just talking his book and placating his mate Obama.

to be fair he invests a lot of his own money on his decisions .
but he has an agenda.

These are nice ideas none of the political parties are pursuing this agenda.

To few people with to much money,they already own everything they will ever need so no need to spend,failing that get rid of mobile phones for anything other than making a phone call as this is putting most of the service industry out of work in next few years.
My fav (not far of it) everybody forced to retire on a government pension at 55(leaves jobs for all youngsters),all new families only allowed one child.(savings in child benefit,schooling,social services etc pays for pension).

I just want early retirement really

"My fav (not far of it) everybody forced to retire on a government pension at 55"

Brilliant idea - what level of pension do you have in mind?

That's open to negotiation,but would have to be enough for us oldies to keep spending to keep the young upstarts at work.

Cottage Industry, that's the way forward........... or backward not sure which.

What, cheese?

Cottage Industry, that's the way forward.

Or at least small to middle businesses. Family run businesses plan long term, not just till the next Annual bonus.
It is THEIR money and the results of THEIR labour so they treat it accordingly.

It took centuries of family money and endeavour to build up some of our great institutions, and less than a decade for arrogant, over rated prima donnas to fk. it all up.

The big mistake the coalition made was to not slash spending at the start.

From the sounds pre-election I thought we were in for:

a massive reduction in the whole central and local government set up

a re-negotiation of PFIs, and an end to the wasteful outsourcing, both of which were an integral part of NL.


Next to nothing.

The Party faithful feed off the bloated local and central government

The Party backers feed off PFIs and outsourcing


What the taxpayer thinks is immaterial.

Family run businesses plan long term, not just till the next Annual bonus.

Long term is getting through to the end of the month for many.

It took centuries of family money and endeavour to build up some of our great institutions, and less than a decade for arrogant, over rated prima donnas to fk. it all up.

Yep, no doubt in the city there are some clever folk, very few risk a penny of their own. Most are just arrogant, overpaid wide boys guessing at numbers on a screen
