I'm not disagreeing with cuts and neither are Labour but I think you better go and double check the timescales that have been put forward because Gordon Brown was saying that Conservative proposals were too quick even before the elections.
Yes, we need to bring the deficit down and quickly but not
too quickly. It's like paying off a loan in one month but leaving nothing in the kitty to keep you going, you simply replace one problem with another.
There's no pleasant way out of this but an even keel is better than choppy waters.
