Written by Harriet Harman, the leader of the opposition, says that this is a ‘budget of broken promise’.
Is she really that stoopid?
Labour left a gaping hole in the treasury with no way to plug it. The current government knew the debt would be ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as it actually is.
In order to save the country, Labour have forced them into breaking promises. The budget is actually seeming to be a well rounded budget that will affect everyone without focussing on one part of society.
Ms Harman, lest you forget, it was your party and the ‘best chancellor we’ve ever had’ that brought the country to it’s knees, and I can tell you now that if your party were still in power you would be blindly throwing money at everything in the hope that it makes things work. Your party don’t have a clue about finances. History will come to show that Brown was the worst chancellor we have ever had.
I agree that the VAT increase is a big increase, but we have a big deficit to combat and we need to do it sooner rather than later.
