  Tom - you are in a different world!!!!
  
  It is the bloated public sector that is beggaring the country. We had 13 years of a massive expansion of public sector spending much of it on excessive welfare benefits and all done by borrowed money. That is not workable long term.
  
  I and others on the right believe in 'sound money' and not being indebted. I want an economy based on saving and investment not borrowing and that goes for government and private individuals. I have listed before a whole range of measures of the Labour government that disincentivised saving and investment while boosting borrowing.
  
  Big government is the enemy whatever you say. The left love to try to claim that somehow Labour were following Mrs T's policies that that is a shallow and perverted distortion of the truth. They promoted a society based on borrowing and benefits, pushing even families with over £50k income into the benefit system. Mrs T believed in living within your means for both individuals and government and that is a sensible approach that is as true today as ever it was.
