Sorry your'e contradicting yourself a bit there. You say take a look at Greece. Well these wholesale riots are due to drum roll Savage Cuts.
I don't and never had denied that cuts will be made whoever is in charge but there are cuts and there are Savage Cuts. The former is what Labour and the LibDems have proposed, the latter is all that can be considered by a party claiming to reduce the defecit quicker while not increasing taxes. There simply is NO OTHER WAY.
All parties have commited to cutting waste, their simply is not enough waste to recoup what is required. The fiscal studies group (independant of all parties) even said so.
Don't think there is any contradiction. I'm not talking about riots in Greece I'm talking about the fact they spent themselves into oblivion and are far worse than us so lets learn that lesson before we end up rioting because of savage cuts due to more labour borrowing.
By the way I'm not trying to be an expert just the way I see it.
So regardless of the jobs tax. which again business leaders have actually said will be counter productive. Brown would have to borrow to keep spending at current rates. and that will take us to the same stage as Greece
