Those two are completely different bulltulips.

If find the sort of policy build 25000 homes and give out 100,000 jobs rather pointless, when millions of people need jobs and affordable homes. Has overtones of the lottery i.e. if you vote for us there is a slight chance you might get a cheap house or a job. These sort of things make hardly difference other than provide some photo opps, and a "happy story" to stick in their manifesto's. Sort of thing they'd do in the Soviet Union.

Balls and Brown: both cheeks of the same felching, rotten, money grabbing, thieving, pension destroying, cultural marxist, common purpose, rancid, wealth destroying Liebour arse.

"1) Repeating the bank bonus tax - and using "the money to build 25,000 affordable homes and guarantee a job for 100,000 young people"
2) Bringing forward long-term investment projects, such as schools, roads and transport, to create jobs
3) Reversing January's "damaging" VAT rise now for a temporary period
4) Immediate one-year cut in VAT to 5% on home improvements, repairs and maintenance
5) One-year national insurance tax break "for every small firm which takes on extra workers, using the money left over from the government's failed national insurance rebate for new businesses"

Source: BBC News - Labour conference: Balls unveils five-point growth plan

#5 is the only one making remote sense and he is a complete idiot suggesting cut in VAT would make any difference apart from massive loss of tax revenue.

1 - What jobs are these young people going to do, I always have doubts when I hear that politicians can guarantee jobs, does Balls want to copy the Italians where they have none jobs just to give people something to do and sod the debt?

2 - Possible, but £5 billion will not turn it around on its own.

3 - Balls is talking Balls - this will not make any difference other than adding to the existing debt, the last time they did this it did not change anything. Is the reduction of a TV from £500 to £490 really going to make people spend, spend, spend?

4 - As someone said, much of this is evaded anyway, and will not make much difference, if any.

5 - If a new employee was on £15K, is the saving of employers nic going to sway the decision? I doubt it and anyway, what about large employers, this is not consistent and is just a play to the unions and naive public.

What I find amusing is how Balls now says that they won't know the state of the economy after current Govt, yet they were berating Conservatives for exactly the same answer just couple of years ago.

It's about time new act was introduced to punish those attempting to obtain public office by deception.
