This sellotape and bandage budget is probably one of the last straws in people's confidence in the 3 mainstream parties.
It's always the same: one lot gets in and has to "undo the last government's errors", then the other lot get in and do the same.
At the end of the day, the rich get more privileged, taxes rise all the time, and the national debt gets higher. The fact that this debt is increasing and is forecast to go up by further hundreds of billions over the next years, and that unemployment is forecast to rise, proves that they have taken the dead-end path that leads to economic and social collapse.
To say it with a few words, this economic system has failed and will only lead us into further despair.

The small print is now being picked out bit by bit.........Cameron`s Big Society,already dying on the vine takes another
hit and joins grannies tax and pasties on the victim`s list.
Osborne penalised charities by unexpectedly capping the tax relief that could be claimed on big donations.........
More than 450 charities have joined the ``Give it back George``campaign to push for the measure to be reversed.....
The subliminal message is just as damaging since it seems to be equating philanthropy with tax avoidance.
Does Olly really believe,like the majority of us, that the Big Society is just a scam?

The Big Society is not a scam, Reg. Join me and Neil Wiggins in trying to provide a solution to the sudden closure of the Eythorne post office. Any ideas?

The Big Society has its roots in the birth of the welfare state, actually. It is simply that the welfare state became hijacked and manipulated along the way and has ended up defeating its own object.

That pleases you does it Reg?
We will see what the real situation is soon enough.
Osborne need to make some proper cuts to public spending and to reduce taxes.
