Have the cut backs been for nothing

[barny_100 10]

Repeat the truth after me: Government spending is still rising.

 

The reality is the "cuts" are too often being done in blanket fashion rather than by selected areas and this is counter productive in terms of maintaining support for the policy of even slowly balancing the budget. The worst aspect is they are somehow managing to get bad press for "massive cuts" while at the same time spending more. I've rapidly lost any faith I had in Mr Cameron's competency.
