we are all aware of the proposed cuts in the public sector leading to job losses.
we are assured by dave, george, nick and vince that this will be offset by a boom in employment by the private sector.
according to the leading accountants price waterhouse cooper this is not the case, they say that half a million civil servants added to the scrap heap will be equalled by the same number of jobs lost in the private sector as so much employment is dependent on government contracts.

So! Try telling that Dave and Co.! We all understood that they were phantasising with their prognostics on the private sector. I mean, who are the private sector supposed to export to, when, as you yourself stated today Howard in a post, that things and apples and so are produced economically everywhere in the world, and at much cheaper prices than here 'in the U.K.'? (as they write it there)

Its trhe OBR - Professor Budd, who produced the more positive report on unemployment.
The fact is, whoever is right about those figures, it is immaterial. The cuts cannot and must not be avoided because the longer term impact of delaying the cuts will be even worse.
