Public Spending...
Should we maintain the current rates of public spending by our government, or in times of recession, should we try and reduce it to pay for all the government debt?

Re: Public Spending...
bit of a loaded question that Andrew..you are learning fast ...but I reckon I know that your own answer would be the old Tory way...reduce public spending by making massive cuts in Education,the NHS and even the Defence budget..the Tory way has been tried and tested in the past during the several reccesions caused by their incompetence.

Re: Public Spending...
Gordon says spend more so the best way must be to spend less, because he ain't a clue what he's doing, and close on £2 trillion of debt speaks for itself

Re: Public Spending...
Guess we've all seen what rash decisions cause, i'd leave it pretty much as is for the moment, lets face it, probably not that much scope for anything too drastic now anyway depending on who's figures you really believe. No matter who makes the decision, it will almost certainly be made by a prat who we cant relate to and visa versa!
Best Regards - Tagy

Re: Public Spending...
The worker becomes all the poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and range. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he creates. With the increasing value of the world of things proceeds in direct proportion to the devaluation of the world of men. Labour produces not only commodities; it produces itself and the worker as a commodity -- and does so in the proportion in which it produces commodities generally.
Marx, Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts (1844)
