eh? don't you think financial ministers in EVERY country make totally unfounded and unrealsitic claims - how else would they get voted in? the public voted labour in* because they were sick of thatchers slash and burn and tory corruption and wanted increased public spending, trouble is they also wanted low taxes, so the stupid nitwits borrowed money as did most countries and pretty much every citizen in them. Only the libdems pre Clegg were brave enough to suggest real increasses in tax for the middle class and weathly and a fat lot of good it did them. I was around in the 70's and things are still a lot better now and people better off, but we now have to spend a few years working hard to pay for it. * I say voted in because of course they and pretty much every govt post 1970 got a minority of the votes cast but still had enormous majorities due to the stupid electoral system. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
