Greece, Portugal, Spain.. you want us to be like them? You can't go on borrowing. People will stop lending you money, at which point you're screwed.

Well that's all very nice and lovely I'm sure.. whatever the Sun said we have never been in the same situation as Portugal or Greece.. the real facts are that this country was coming out of a world wide slump when the condems took power.
To think the IMF outlook was positive is a joke.. the IMF only made it clear that this governments economic policey would lead to slow or even negative growth.. and for Andrew to say that 0.2 growth is some sort of positive is typical party propaganda... the fact is we are closing down small business by making more people unemployed who would have used those businesses.. transfering invalids and the sick onto the JSA and at the same time cutting the staff at Job Centres.. cutting nurses by up to 30,000 in the next 5 years .. cutting the police by 17,000 and it goes on.
This government can, with some honesty say they were left with a bad economy.. but the way they go about things are just basic tory policies from long back.. cut jobs, benifits, living standards and hope it turns out in the end!
