I think myself it must be a question of whom you trust to run/ruin the economy.
Gordon is a busted flush.
Cameron and the Conservatives seem to me to look right. They aren't overselling and they are keeping cool. It is going to be a crisis when they take over.

That excellent website above is quite surprising in that it really does show that (disastrously) the NuLabs have been throwing a lot more money at the Public services year by year. Suddenly threatening to slash it is going to cost them the election.

If governmnt cut dep. budgets, non jobs and consultants they could afford sensible pay offers.

HA.
Maybe according to Zanu Labour traktor production statistics.

Along with 13000 migrants from europe, fake nhs waiting lists, 2% inflation and comments from the paranoid delusions of the fabian society that feral youths dont exist and are an invention of the nasty tory toffs at the Daily Mail as part of a class war.

8 million r on benefits. when will the government admit this.

It may be, in the traditional civil service manner, that he will write an anodyne letter & give such advice privately & while this would be kinder to Gordon it would be the wrong move. The public have to know that there is no free lunch, that the choice is that stark. Without knowing it there can be little sensible public debate about the way forward & no front row career politician is going to be the messenger of bad news.

As the bin men have not arrived this morning, I take it there is another public sector strike on. Though you have to hand it to these trade unions, they have learnt the concept of "gearing", from the financial sector.

Your school caretaker goes on strike; it is impossible to run a school without a caretaker (not); school closes for a day. So you have one person on strike, not getting paid. The rest of the school is on strike; but, getting paid! Clever init.

Before you write about public sector strikes and the la-la land of public sector trade unions; the following is a bit of prep for Redwood fans.

First commit this to your little grey cells. "The Government does not have any money of its own". The public sector and its beneficiaries – the socialised economy – are totally dependant on the non-socialised economy for its resources. All the nations assets – even the coal and the oil – belong to the people who by default, are born into the non-socialised economy. It goes wrong when some clown invents the public sector. Unfortunately, they do not teach this fact in economics classes anymore.

From PESA 2008, you will see in chapter 5, table 5.3 that the government pay bill is £154 billion; about 28% of government spending.

Given that the British economy is now experiencing all of the factors you so ably described above, would you agree that the chapter 11 style reforms Mr. Cameron wishes to introduce would not help our economy at all. Indeed this measure would simply serve to prop up failing businesses causing further inefficiencies in our economy, surely it would be far better to lower business taxation and keep interest rates low in order to prevent many viable companies becoming insolvent.
