We all know they are going to say two hundred billion in debt and the baking industry has all but collapsed.

 

 Does that mean we should eat more cake?



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.

more relief than greed tbh, the last thing my family need is more taxes to pay, you know what with it being a reccesion and all.
