Lib Dems recoil at Osborne's 'regressive' Budget
"would hit the poorest hardest"
"The richest will pay the most"
Figures don't lie, but liars do figure.
When you hear someone attacking the budget cuts, ask yourself who their comments are meant to benefit - and whether they propose an alternative method to stop us spending more than we make.
ittleglimmer in reply to had_it The same argument applies to someone supporting the budget cuts, surely?
Well, no. For one thing, they are already talking about a specific proposal - not just attacking the other for the sake of scoring points for their political party - which many pols see as far more important than the people of Britain.
It would, however, apply to someone attacking a person that opposes the budget cuts simply to score political points, as compared to getting on with doing something useful.
