It's a Double dip

Quote: Dally "Right then. What would you prescribe?

... '"

Always makes me chuckle, this. A poster or posters slam government policies which are even to an economic illiterate making things much worse, and some apologist comes back with "well, what would YOU do"?.

As if any person is qualified to be Chancellor of the Exchequer and could post a 25,000 page economic plan for the country.

Idiot.

The general and rather obvious point is NOT to do what they are doing, because they said it would work, yet all indicators clearly and indisputably point to it NOT WORKING Dally.

No, there is no monster lurking under Gideon's bed, or a malevolent fairy somewhere cursing his potions, such that despite his genius efforts, everything is getting worse rather than better.

It just seems so fundamentally basic; they are throwing more and more people out of work (what is it now - 20% of the entire young generation on the scrapheap??), and everyone has less and ever less to spend, whilst at the same time being relentlessly mugged by increases in tax and the march of prices such as fuel (big Brucie bonus there for Gideon).

How the fsck can he think it is even possible for a coutry to get better when nobody has any money left, half have no job, and the rest are being squeezed to the fscking pip squeaking point and mugged at every opportunity? What is going to kick start the economy?

On top of all that, we see the lying barstards cosying up to the big businessmen/bankers who will provide their free lunch once they leave office, and giving them huge tax breaks and condoning obscene remuneration. All we see is simple and indeed blatantly obvious feathering of own and mates nests, what is there in any of this for the average man?

But George and Dave share our pain, so that's all right.

What would I prescribe? Sack the lot of 'em and sequester all their and their mates' assets.
