You still dont answer the questions do you?

"There are NO CUTS, government spending will increase year on year.
A project may be cut and the money used elsewhere but total government spending will increase every year until 2015, rising by over ?100 BILLION POUNDS"

This is another schoolboy error. Let me try to explain.

State spending can rise even while cuts begin to bite. The rise in spending will partly be due to the costs of recession including increased debt payments as gilt yields rise and larger welfare payments as a result of higher unemployment. Increases in state spending is entirely consistent with cuts in departmental expenditure limits which in turn have an impact on GDP.

Got it yet?

In order to be taken seriously what you need to do is the following:

In the message entitled List of Questions you cannot answer, not surprisingly there is a list of questions that you do not seem to be able to answer.

Copy the questions into a new message and try to answer them as best you can.

Your reply is "LOL a Guardian article ? are you for real ? " is really pathetic. The data is not produced by the Guardian. It is commonly available. Anyway even if it was, which it wasn't, the Guardian supported the Lib Dems at the last election.

If you dont answer the questions, then your credibility is completely blown away.

"Richard Lambert stated on Newsnight last night that he absolutely agreed with the governments spending plans."

Rather selective editing of his views, dont you think, Yawnfuck? Here is a more representative section of the speech he gave

Sir Richard said business supported the government's spending cuts. But some politically motivated initiatives were damaging, he said.

The government has "taken a series of policy initiatives for political reasons, apparently careless of the damage they might do to business and to job creation"

"Public spending cuts and private sector growth are two sides of the same coin." I hope you are going to get in touch and tell him off for using the word "cuts"

Hence, without initiatives supporting private sector growth, the spending cuts would not only be futile; they would be actively detrimental, he reasoned. "It's not enough just to slam on the spending brakes," he said.
"Measures that cut spending but killed demand would actually make matters worse."

He also said that a ?hard look? needed to be taken at the Department for Business and its role in promoting growth. It should be ?less of a talking shop, more of an action-oriented growth champion?, Sir Richard said.

He went on to highlight several policies ? including the immigration cap and the decision to axe rules allowing bosses to retire staff on their 65th birthday ? as just some of many bad examples of ?politics appearing to have trumped economics?.
The Government is ?so excited about announcing new policies that it ignores valuable schemes which already exist?, he added.

Graeme Leach, Institute of Directors's chief economist and director of policy, added: "To assist economic growth, the Government should be making it easier for businesses to employ people, not harder."

Oh dear, not quite as positive towards the government as you tried to convey. Eh?

So another term of Labour would see us through, eh?

You cannot blame the rest of the world for Broon and Balls downright incompetence which sees the country in the state it is.

I voted Conservative tactically to get Broon oot, but next time I will vote UKIP because that is the only party that deserves to grow and get the country the fuck outta the EU.
If that offends you or others then see if I care. I don't, and I suspect some others don't care either.
