    Listening to Ed Balls is like an arsonist complaining about the fireman.

    i didn't hear what ed balls had to say , but i'd put good money on him saying " the govt is cutting too hard & too fast" at least 3 /4 times
    he seems incapable of saying anything else in any interviews i've heard him , he seems a little more coy in what plans labour have , that is if they actually have any . the fact is that they would have to make similar sort of cuts to the govt .... unless the tried to borrow their way out of trouble :rotfl:

    Why is it always a straight fight between 'more cuts' or 'increased borrowing'.

    What about redirecting government spend ?

    Both Labour and Coallition deficit reduction plans are gutless. The looming Eurozone crisis will render their predictions out of date anyway.

    It feels like we are sleepwalking into a downward spiral.
