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.
