We haven't had austerity. Smoke and mirrors. Deficit and public spending still too high.


Blinded by selfishness.


Good argument

 


The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Really isn't worth arguing my point with a narrow-minded right-winger such as yourself. Sadly you place a thriving economy ahead of a poor family. I dont blame you, brainwashed like many, and that isnt your fault.

There would be loads more poor families without a thriving economy.

Mistakes(?) made by the rich are always paid for by the poor. And again, the rich are getting richer.

Yep, ''austerity'' IS SADLY still working.

 


Time to move forward together.

Are you deliberately quoting Cameron's responses in pmq's this week, or is it subconscious osmosis?

Cos obviously the right way to help poorer people is to have a lavish welfare free for all and run up a huge defecit to pay for it?

Hahaha. The small minded one is the one that wishes to debate, apparently. What a prat.

Depends how you look at it, people in work is at the highest level since records began in 1971 but unemployment is only just returning to levels of 2008. GDP has grown but GDP per capita is still below 2008 levels.
The jobs that have been created have largely been unskilled. Median income has remained the same last year making people worse off in real terms and the top income decile have increased their income further in comparison.
Public sector works have had their pay frozen for the next 4 years which means any rise in inflation will result in roughly a quarter or the work force being significantly worse off.
In real terms homelessness and use of food banks has rocketed and levels of working people in poverty has hit record levels.
Oh and national debts is up.

Not really since there's been no inflation, in fact the essentials like fuel and food have fallen in price.

Food bank use has rocketed because those nasty Tories changed legislation to allow job centres to direct people to them. It's also something to be proud of that we as a country provide charity like this off our own backs, rather than expecting the state to be the source of charity instead.

National debt is up, you're right. Because the deficit hasn't really been dealt with, which is because we haven't really had austerity. Osborne has somehow duped the markets (and the public) into thinking we have and that he's economically responsible.

It's the same the whole world over,
It's the poor what gets the blame,
It's the rich what gets the pleasure,
Ain't it a blooming shame?

We were unfavourably hit by the 2008 crisis because our economy is so heavily geared towards finance. We have been favourably blessed by the recovery as it was that sector that has made the biggest adjustment.

Control over public spending has improved or credit rating and is one of many factors that has led to where we are now.

However, the OP stating that the tight budget is the cause of low unemployment does not suggest a very savvy grip on the complexities of economics.

Best stick to football.
