General - The Budget - View Post

tax rises - who cares; it won't raise much income by the PM's own admission. It's the headline grabber to distract us from:

massive borrowing - what for? what are we spending all of the money on? If it's more bailouts I'll cry. There is no country on the planet economically right-wing enough for me to live in apparently - even the US and UK go all economically-socialist in hard times.

scrapping scheme - car industry bailout in disguise.

housing money allocation - building industry bailout in disguise

everything else - no increases in our underfunded science system I see. Nothing will get us out of this crisis better than basic research.
