Borrow and Spend Budget

[SirGalahad]

So there is a Magic Money Tree.

So there is a Magic Money Tree.

Yes, I'm one of the ones providing it.

 

[SirGalahad]

Oh, wait.....the magic money tree will sort it all out!

Governments have to act responsibly. Our national debt is now £1.7 trillion.
There is no magic money tree.

That's the one the socialists believe in.
Socialists always run out of other peoples money in the end!

It'll come from the magic money tree of course. And Labour will just plant a few more of them.

He better buy some more magic money tree seeds

Nurturing his magic money tree, feeding it loads of bullsh1t, he has plenty to go round.

Sometimes it appears as if by magic.

At least Labour don’t have those problems. Just give it away.

The party of fiscal responsibility.

Spin out however you like.

As Transam might put it,

Brigadier gives not. a jot.

Isn't it good government that knows when to tighten its belt but also know when to borrow and spend when required.
It's not a magic money tree its how to deal with a problem of two or three when they rear their heads.

You run a business? You need to know when to cut down and go to Lidle and know when it's time to go to watrose...

Bad example

But when you have saved for ten years it gives you the confidence and the ability to spend for the greater good.

if that was true, how come the top earners have increased their earnings and wealth so much over the last 10 years, yet those at the bottom of the tree have really suffered.

How many times have you voted for the Torys in the last ten years?

You've posted that link before, and I may have mentioned before that if you read through the comments at the end of the 'blog', the authors figures are meticulously picked apart by a number of people, the author gets rather annoyed with them.

Dubious to say the least.

 

[Bodd]

Hypocrisy 101.

Are you saying there's two sort of party's?

A spend it party and save it party..

Or could there be a third party that does what ever is best when the wind changes
