So HMG are printing money, to prop up the banks, so the banks can lend money back to the government, so the government can prop up the banks...
Is this Brownonomics in extremis, or is there even more madness to come?
Look what you get when you leave an idiot at the controls for 10 years.

Tax credits, a system of social engineering
Is there any evidence that the Government is really planning to open the money supply floodgates?

But I have been saying this for ten years and it hasn't got any worse in that time. As for the article, what a load of bollocks. Is there any evidence that the Government is really planning to open the money supply floodgates? Everybody, and I mean everybody, knows that that would lead to total catastrophe.

Brown to seize control
Serious thought is apparently being given to the Weimar solution: the Bank of England would simply print money and hand out fistfuls to every citizen in the hope that he would spend, spend, spend, thereby saving the retail and investment markets.

Interesting article by Janet Daley.
