Big time Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You're not reading my posts properly. I clearly mention sustainable growth. You can't be saying that we shouldn't be trying to grow our economy can you? I think most Tories would be pretty upset if they thought Osborne was going down that track. The only growth under Labour is the size of the state sector and dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You seem to be suffering the same old disease many of the anti-tory lot suffer; Predicting the future and presenting it as fact. Not at all. I'm merely point out that anybody who thinks the AAA rating is safe is deluded. Unemployment now highest since 1994 and growth has stopped. That means lower tax receipts, more benefit spend, more borrowing a serios risk of an undershoot of deficit reduction targets - which Moodys indicated in June. The AAA rating is not cast iron - it is conditional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 It's a useful stance since, since as actual real-world events went differently, he can claim what he likes and no one who doesn't have access to some kind of cross-dimensional alternate reality transportation device can prove him wrong. Indeed, though it does mean he also can't prove he's right I meant to ask about this magic crystal ball he owns, it'd be nice to know next weeks lotto numbers.

Big time Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Oh no, not the eco argument. From a Tory. Desperate stuff. Conservatism(with a small c) is the way to go for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The only growth under Labour is the size of the state sector and dept. Really. No other economic growth? At all? With all due respect this is getting a bit childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percy filth Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You seem to be suffering the same old disease many of the anti-tory lot suffer; Predicting the future and presenting it as fact. But as the labour supporters keep reminding us the recession under labour was a world wide event, even if our government overspending wasn't. But the current recession isn't related to that as it isn't happening in any other country . Oh hang on, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 We were definitely going to lose that AAA credit rating had Labour remained in power and did the things they intended to do. Really? As I remember it Darling's proposed slower deficit reduction plan was endorsed by ratings agencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Awwww he's only a beginner, just humour him. So that's the excuse for Darling's uselessness - he's only a beginner at this? Makes sense I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
