Yes of course we needed some cuts! BUT....... we now need a credible plan for growth. The private sector cannot just rustle up jobs and profits unless it has customers who have money to spend, small businesses are still struggling just as they have been for the past four or five years and the government has done almost nothing to help them! The bosses of banks and big businesses are still getting by on their huge salaries, but many small businesses are having trouble keeping theirselves afloat. If it all goes belly up in Euro land we are going to be in even more trouble than we are in now, the Govt has to get a growth plan into action before it's too late!

They just like hearing their voices spew hot air that evapourates and gets forgotten, pass go and collect those salaries and gold plated pensions.
Until we elect daring, selfless, politicians who have the best interests of UK taxpayers as their first priority, we will never see a balanced economy. How can governments justify borrowing, essentially, “made up” monopoly money from privately owned banks and then rely on the ordinary tax payer to repay the interest with REAL money? Why can’t nations print their our own currencies, interest and debt free, and use the productivity of their people to keep the economy balanced? Ah yes...I forgot....that wouldn’t bode well for European/Global governance would it....silly me

Under the Labour years of Government (that mad Gordon Brown) the Banks were freely allowed to wreck the economy.......... Quite possibly this Government WILL need to alter course from time to time - anyone steering a ship through turbulent waters very often does. The media and the silly little Politicians always make a great issues of 'U TURNS', as though sometimes changing course was an admission of weakness. Obviously most people are very worried about the present economic situation and quite possibly worse is to come but: THIS GOVERNMENT DID NOT GET US HERE!! However, it would be helpful if Mr Osborne 'thought first and acted later'. a bit more.
