The debate is over the best way to manage it. Much of our deficit goes back hundreds of years. I am unable to confirm or refute the suggestion that we are still paying the ransom of Richard the Lionheart. Undoubtedly, like all nations bar 4, we have a national debt, one of the largest. Debt is a way of making our children pay for our costs. We are paying for our ancestors' costs. It is insane to try to pay off a debt that goes back hundreds of years in a decade or two. We need to pay it off, but steadily, in a way that does not bring on a second wave of recession. It is generally agreed that Osborne's plan is going to do just that. We will find out in a few months.<br /><br />http://greenerblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/uks-parlous-financial-situation-tough.html<br /><br />Thanks for commenting JMac.

Of course I know you understand that Cam...Weeell...<br />Of course I know you understand that Cameron isn't using that phrase to label people who deny that the deficit exists. He is using it to label those people who oppose Con/Dem cuts.<br />Doesn't that include the Green party?<br />Didn't they put out a budget briefing saying cuts were unnecessary?<br />So the Green party are "deficit deniers" according to Dave.<br />I was never in favour of this type of rhetoric when "climate deniers" was bing bandied about.<br /><br />JMacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-22307199648327180152010-07-21T11:42:27.583+01:002010-07-21T11:42:27.583+01:00Hi JMac

There is a deficit, undeniably, just as it is undeniable that global warming is taking place.<br /><br />The debate is over the best way of tackling said problems.DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-2787654453938680092010-07-19T14:42:32.694+01:002010-07-19T14:42:32.694+01:00Ah yes... and now David Cameron is calling those w...Ah yes... and now David Cameron is calling those who oppose these cuts "deficit deniers".<br />A sloganizing way of immediately putting your opponent on the wrong side of the argument.<br />I wonder where he got that idea from?<br /><br />JMacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-1446286890627989912010-07-19T13:56:19.679+01:002010-07-19T13:56:19.679+01:00I'm still waiting for you to tell us about tha...I'm still waiting for you to tell us about that dancing in Bodmin.
