Again. What cuts?

Why the change of tune Graham?

You were arguing that the cuts would cause prices to plummet for a very long time.

As you seem to have ignored this one.....

We were going back into recession either way, as the recovery was very much artificial based on lots of stimulus.

There is no such thing as an "artificial" recovery.

Stimulus spending is no different to any other spending. And spending stimulates growth, which eventually becomes self sustaining.

If growth falters or weakens, it's because the spending was insufficient to create a self-sustaining state, or was ended too soon.

Hence why the Tory cuts are responsible for another recession, if there is one.

Of course, if we do double dip, it will be far shallower and shorter a recession than the last one, thanks to all the stimulus spending and economic rebuilding that has happened between then and now.

I often here about the public sector cuts, but in reality its more recruitment freezes.

A point you argued vociferously against for a very long time.

As I recall you claimed it didn't matter whether the jobs were lost via natural attrition or redundancy, the end result was still a smaller state and less jobs.

I'm not sure we have had a marked increase in the number of employees actually ejected from the public sector and made redundant by force....and certainly not enough to cause a recession.

So why have you changed your mind?

After arguing the opposite for a very long time?

What cuts? You keep stating this today, now, on this thread.

Obscurely dragging some reference up to something you state I said at some undefined time isn't going to get the question answered.

What cuts?

I may have half understood a criticism of QE. It was that big banks/business get /anticipate QE and make a killing by using the money first. By the time the money trickles down to the rest of us it buys less as prices have risen given the speculative input.
