Tory welfare cuts

[I1L2T3]

You mean the growth that was temporary and stimulated by printing money.

 

Your post is contradictory again, you complain about them not not spending enough, but then complain about the amount they borrowed to keep the public sector going.

 

QE continued well after 2010. Osborne somehow managed to semi-kill the economy at the same time. Quite an achievement.

 

All your posts seem to want to deny that Osborne doubled our national debt. Why?

[loraward]

If we want money for services we can start by collecting taxes more effectively, about £100bn a year goes AWOL.

 

And the main point anyway is people can't slag other parties for borrowing when the coalition borrowing record is utterly shameful.

 

Collecting tax's is the job of HMRC, presumably they didn't collect it because they couldn't.

You are so funny. You will be out there burning Thatchers effigy next. Fortunately for the country there are rather more sensible folk out there which is why 25% more folk voted for Cameron in England and Wales than voted for Miliband. If Milibands successor is as stupid as Miliband the sensible majority will keep Labour in opposition for decades, and the run down area of South Yorkshire will continue to fail to attract investment and become a wasteland. Enjoy the ride.

 

Sensible people? Or scared people?

 

As for big parts of the country the Tories wrote them off in 1979. Wake up to it.

Or because they don't have enough resources. Osborne cut the HMRC budget, for example by 5% in 2013.

It would never work.

 

Sheffield, as the greatest city (indeed, the ONLY city) in Yorkshire, should be the regional capital.

 

Sadly, L**ds think they should also be the capital, just because they are richer than we are but unfortunately they are a bunch of tory-voting morons.

 

And Doncaster also think they should be the regional capital because they have an airport, but they have an incompetent labour council.

 

And Rotherham think they should be capital just because they only have an incompetent labour council.

 

Now, is there any town or city in Yorkshire that I've missed?

 

Its simple. Just make leeds, rotherham and donny 'greater sheffield'. York would be 'sheffield north'. No complaints as we are all the capital!

How many millions was cut and did it result in more money lost in uncollected tax's. Or is the tax system a little bit like mining, there is coal in the ground but it costs more to get it out than its worth.

The country doesn't have the resources. Labour screwed up the economy and expanded the public sector money pit beyond the countries resources. It takes time to clear up a train crash despite the UK having one of the best performing economies in the developed world. Fortunately outside of South Yorkshire the majority of voters know this. That's why they just elected a majority Tory government and Ed Miliband and Ed Balls are history.

The country didn't have the money to collect the taxes that would help it recover? Strange argument.

It's all in theory collectable. If the desire is there.

 

Read somewhere that HMRC has had staff cuts aporoaching since 2005 which of course is Labour's fault as well. Not sure about how many millions cut in terms of money.

A bit like coal, its there but it will cost more to get it than it is worth, no point spending £10 billion to collect £5 billion.

It was actually caused by unsustainable debt which had been used to stimulate the economies of the world.

 

 

 

That was Labours fault for leaving the country in such a mess, and the electorates fault for constantly complaining about the cuts that would have stopped the debt growing.

 

 

 

We have austerity because the public sector spends far more than is raised in tax's.

 

Oh dear...There's none so blind....

Meanwhile it's easy to collect money from the little people. Just hold them upside down and shake until it stops falling out og their pockets....

Yep, the Labour party did a rate good job of convincing some folk that it had note to with them.
