evil woman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The difference is all the others won't be anywhere near as savage, hence my assertion that there's little appetite for them (around 335 to be exact) ---------- Post added 24-04-2015 at 14:58 ---------- Such a massive hole that the Tories intend changing the Inheritiance tax laws so people get to keep more of the money they made under Labour. You've probably missed the fact that whoever wins the election has the same financial hole to fill. It is the one left 5 years ago by Balls and Brown and has only been half filled. ---------- Post added 24-04-2015 at 19:47 ---------- You really believe this? The other alternatives are that we are taxed more or borrow more... It is a great plan. Borrow money to pay off your debts. All I need is 2 credit cards and use each to pay off the debt on the other.

There is some credible economic evidence which suggests that borrowing to invest eg in infrastructure returns more than the equivalent debt. That's why the structural deficit is important because this is the part which accounts for everyday spending which might not give the same returns rather than the absolute deficit. Of course this would involve a strategy something like cutting the benefits bill whilst investing in roads and railways, ie something akin to what we have had the last 5 years.
