Struggling more than the people who are about to be made redundant for no good reason?
Or more than the disabled people who are having their benefits fucked about with and removed for no good reason?

Or the children who will struggle in the future because their education was so fucked up, for no good reason?

Or the people who won't be treated properly because the NHS has been fucked about with so much, for no good reason?

I still don't see how shouting about it and walking through the streets of London
will help? Unless it works as well as the student protests!

Oh, wait.

What will happen
is the banks will say 'hey - we're really sorry! Here's loads of our salaries to spend on flids! Now we've seen people vandalising shops we realise the errors of our ways!'

That's is what will definitely happen.

The previous government had one policy
Throe money at a problem. When questioned in the commons why the NHS was failing in an area, or scholls were failing children their response was, "Well we've increase investment by £Xbn".

Brilliant, but if those billions made no difference to the lavels of care etc availible then they were wasted. Money is not the answer, efficiecny, quality and itleeligent running of services is the answer, this will never happed whilst budgets continue to rise.

If my boss questioned me on why a project had failed and I said, "yes it failed, but I pumped shit loads of extra money into it" I'd be fired, and rightly so.

I'm not saying that was right.
My argument is that shafting the 'little people' while your mates make off with obscene amounts of cash and you lie and tell them that the cuts are necessary is fucking morally abhorrent.

Wasting ten years of growth by borrowing huge amounts of money
to pay for jobs that aren't required to employ people who will then vote for you is morally abhorrent.

So, in your eyes, all public sector jobs are a waste of money and effectively non-jobs?

No, not at all
But the Labour governemnt propped up growth with borrowing during a time of global growth when the country should have been saving (Not selling all of our gold at a historically low price).

Save in the good times, so that you are prepared for the bad times. The recession would have happned either way, but we would have been in a better postion to ride it out and less cuts would have been necessary.

*Fewer.
I don't disagree with you wholly, especially not about the gold. However, my point was originally that there are alternatives to the wholesale 'slash and burn the public sector then piss on it' approach of this government.
