Budget 2010: The verdict

Odourless Crap.
 
There was no new information on the budget deficits. All the announcements of ‘savings’ and ‘efficiencies’ were made in December, so nothing new. Some tax increases on the cost of living. A tiny giveaway. That’s about all.
 
He did talk about ‘saved money’ when referring to the deficit being lower – which as I said early is not ‘saved money’, it is ‘not borrowed money’. Creating a quango to make sure that banks lend money to firms which they deem to be too risky is weird. How did we get into the credit crunch? by dodgy lending!
 
Apparently VAT will be added to stamps. Stamp duty taken away somewhere to be added elsewhere!
 
Closing offshore tax havens in Belize was just pettiness. Shows what kind of Government we have, regulations to target one person. Vindictiveness.
 
If the polls stay steady his ‘say nothing’ budget will have worked. I hope not, but then I can’t understand how 30% of the people say they would vote for this corrupt, spiteful, disorganized, incompetent and useless Government.
 
Squiffy.
