To budget to me means to live within your means.
Evidently our politicians don’t get that !
For years now successive Governments have overspent.
Gradually building up a bigger and bigger national debt.
The trouble is, the voters don’t want cut backs either.
It’s a catch 22. We like give-always, but not Give-backs.
So are we on an inevitable spiral of decline ?
I can have your money, but you can’t have mine.
SOMETHINGS GOT TO GIVE.
A moratorium on all new and overspent projects for a year.
No new Civil Service recruitment for this Parliament.
A halt to and complete review of overseas aid.
Devalue the pound so exports are cheaper and imports are more expensive.

Hello good evening, time to studythe octoer budget? I am confused the ideal seeems to be to give hand out to possbile voters, and denigh them the right to earn an honest living, so all we have, so i see it is ones income and future pensions will/maybe be based on ”governemnt handouts’ , It is totally confusing and I just wonder what the governement see as leadership and guidance in domestic family life, and the educational system for all ages of economy as DICKENS explaned it.
A penny earnerd happiness, a penny in debit unhappiness, and what one does to budget how to spend ones pennies and save at the same time for a rainy day.
A sound based citizenship in credit and a safe country, one in debt? who do we owe our alliengencies to?? What does one believe in ‘FREEDOM’
