Champagne socialists (remember that term?) - that's what they are. Worst sort - expect everyone to have principles except them.
Economy does well - it's down to them, economy down the pan - external factors to blame. Totally unaccountable for screwing up potentially the most prosperous period in living memory.

They just never have any idea that spending should be based on revenues, and not on never-ending borrowing. I'm sure they mean well but are just incompetent and just never say no.
Wasted spending needs to be dramatically reduced and interest rate cuts need to be made immediately but does anybody really see commonsense being applied where New Lie are concerned ?
