BBC News – Nick Clegg slams ‘partial’ IFS report on Budget.
The Coalition doesn’t want to be defined by cuts, yet they continue, as this reports shows, to hit the hardest in society the most. It is impossible to reconcile the cuts with continuing economic growth. If people don’t have enough money, or are jobless or on benefits how is the economy going to grow ? Any job losses in the public sector will never be picked up by the private sector and so you’ll get the situation where people lose their jobs and won’t have sufficient benefits to enure they enjoy a half decent standard of living. It’s not economic rocket science.
