Cutting too soon WILL cause a double dip versus the fact that there is a small possibility that there MIGHT in the distant future be a problem selling debt in the UK...

Right now we can be sure of only one thing - cutting too soon will lead to another dip.

Can you actually answer the questions I asked or are you finding it easier to stick your head in the ground?

It's been shown on this board many times that there is no real threat to the UKs ability to sell gilts.... all posters know that - I can't be bothered getting bogged down in old arguments. Go back and read Stephnie Flanders' blogs and also many articles on the FT web site.

Maybe you should give us evidence that there is a threat to the UK's debt position. Which you won't be able to because there isn't a threat.

So - have the courage of your convictions and stop looking to blame Labour for the fall-out from your decisions. Cuts will lead to mass unemployment. In the long run we will have less growth. But we will have smaller government...

I see you have selective reading disorder. Sad but true.
I didn't comment on Labour here. As far as I'm concerned right now, Labour is the past and we have to look forward not back. You sound bitter in truth.

You come out with soundbites like mass unemployment, less growth. Vague useless points.

Why don't you put some numbers on your convictions? Answer Wookster.

Stop trolling and answer the question.

Oh no, you can't because you think that no amount of debt is unsustainable. Another example of fiscally incontinent Labour.

Laura maybe trolling and she might not be... but you are doing the same as you are being exactly the same troll if you refuse to answer the question.

Ok, fine.

But first answer me this: why have the cuts version of austerity - i.e. the version which is going to have its biggest effect on average and lower income groups?

Why that, rather than the increased tax version, where you could ensure that the higher income groups and their jolly pals, the bankers, pay their due share?

It's all cuts, cuts, cuts. When the state schools start complaining about their leaking roofs, do you believe for one instant that Dave and his Tory public school chummies are going to give a damn?

When there is a gap between tax receipts and government expenditure, you have a clear choice between cuts to services and raising taxation.

Anyone who thinks that what's coming is something other than a barely concealed Tory agenda must be living in cloud cuckoo land...

... and if I were a libdem supporter I would be scratching my head in pure despair over the betrayal of principle which is ongoing...

If we didn't want that we wouldn't have voted for it. We did. Don't like it leave? A good labour voter is a dead labour voter. It's not the labour party to blame. It's the idiots who voted for them.

I will just have to assume that you don't have the intellect to answer a couple of simple questions.

Go back to that hole which you crawled out of.
