I M F state UK economy to grow by 2%

Those many trips to middle east countries selling Defense mechanisms by Careron are paving the way to our prosperity. War is peace.

 

You criticize him for continuing a policy carried on by the previous administration, how do you justify this double standard.?

Its that rise that was and still is the root cause of the UK's problems.

 

They inherited a very healthy economy from Clarke and Major, they maintained the Tory policies throughout their first term, that impetus took them through to, about 2004 when, to maintain momentum Brown started to borrow, when the crash came, we had no insufficient reserves due to Labour profligacy.

If previous governments spent all the cash it's curious that Osborne still manages to obtain it.

I say it because Osborne is a disaster. I'll never tire of saying it because it's true.

 

Just because you repeat it doe not make it true, objectively, Osborne is doing a good job under very difficult circumstances. Balls has stated that, if elected Labour will maintain all Tory economic policies. That says everything.

To be completely fair about this are you also going to credit them for the rise between 1997-2008 as shown in the link below.

That would be rather like crediting a Grand Prix driver for managing 8 laps of a race before loosing control & hitting the barriers, or a builder for putting up 6 floors of a 13 storey block of flats before it collapsed.

Brilliant, great illustration.

It would be interesting to know what he thinks of the chancellors in Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Cyprus etc who have economies running in reverse whilst ours is growing.

I think it is pretty well know that in the crash Britain crashed rather more than most. Brown & Darling managed a staggering 7.3% fall in GDP. There are few countries that can rival that.

 

Perhaps you might ask one of the adults in your institution to find you some proper data for reference.

 

And I do believe I said for the nth why GDP is an unreliable figure and not the true state of the economy

Brown & Darling certainly left the economy in a state after their block of flats collapsed. So what would you think a reliable indication? How about the deficit between tax revenues and government spending?

 

I think the record figure for spending beyond your means was again down to Brown & Darling in 2009 with a staggering £159.6 billion overspend.

Well I'm sorry mate but when Brown and Darling left power I was personally considerably better off than when the previous administration left.

 

I would also add that when this current administration leaves office (hopefully) that I expect to be worse off than when they came to power.

 

I'm sorry that you haven't experienced the same, clearly you are doing so much better under this lot than the previous administration.

Objectively he's responsible for a long string of disasters. I can start listing them if you like and we can discuss each disaster point by point. Be prepared, it could take a long time.

So why is Osborne trying to re-inflate the housing bubble?

Probably because he's a dick.

 

Or perhaps to appease the idiots that think house prices should always go up.

No doubt if they are socialists he will think they are doing a good job!
