I think it shows how far politics as a whole has moved to the right. The obsessive and messianic-like obedience to the free market, amongst other issues such as immigration and social security, is disturbing.

I'm not sure you can really say we have a 'free market', or free anything for that matter.

Well what the right like to call the free market. Which of course isn't really because it's dominated by huge companies that are only ever getting bigger and harder to control.

A market so "free" that it continually demands taxpayers to support it

A free market would work just fine without the leviathan that is the financial sector essentially, pulling the strings, and holding people hostage, and business hostage through debt slavery. However, the system is perfect, in the sense that it's working exactly as intended.

So just to be clear you no longer think she is 'intelligent and an excellent orator' either?
You turn if you want to!

Quite the opposite. She is intelligent and an excellent orator. It's just her neo-liberal agenda and general politics that are sh[ii[/ite

Where does the tax payers money originate? The government doesn't generate money it only has two ways of generating income: Taxing the free market or borrowing from it via government bonds. Quantitive easing isn't really monetary generation.
So I ask again where does the money come from?

It's a concept. Money isn't real. There is a much or a little as governments etc want there to be.
My offer still stands regarding "money"

How much money has the government received from the banks since 2008, compared to how they threw at the banks to bail them out?
The way governments usually get out of debt is through inflation. Something that is hardly likely to ever happen, all the time the incumbent incompetents insist on continuing their ideologically-driven austerity programme.
If the money that was printed for the benefits of the banks and the already rich, instead been directed into capital projects, such as council house-building, or other infrastructure improvements, many more people would be better off today
