  GaryC - my opinions are answers based on a detailed economic analysis from a professional point of view and I express what is needed economically and not what is convenient politically.
  
  I see no realistic alternative analysis coming forward except complaints about cuts and when I point out what would happen if they were not made, silence.
  
  We need to speed recovery and for that the burden on the private sector must be reduced as it is only the private sector than is able to deliver it. Howard - yes that 15 years is bad news for anyone struggling, that is why I say what I do. I prefer shorter sharper period of pain than a long drawn out agony. That is the best way to help people, get the pain over as quickly as possible. Something dramatic is needed, there is no easy or painless way out.
  
  Tom - higher taxes offer no solution, just more economic contraction. We are already over-taxed and that is hamstringing the economy, remove more in taxes from the real economy and you will make life even harder more more businesses and you will end up with more unemployment in the very wealth creating sector where we really need employment growth.
