I’m less cynical, I think the Labour government are doing it for the right reasons, to keep more people in employment and off unemployment which is demoralising for many who have worked all their life and unproductive for the country.
Remember what it was like in the last recession with a slash and burn Conservative approach to dealing with saving money through cutting public service pushing us further into recession!!! There are areas of Britain that never recovered.
I know we’ll be in debt longer doing it this way, but I have to believe protecting the people now is better long term than cutting the lifeline and leaving it to market forces like the Conservatives did in the last recession and probably would have done during this recession!
And I’ll add my business (all online) has come through this recession fine, so I could have the “I’m alright Jack” approach and screw everyone else not so fortunate. I know protecting as many people as possible through the recession is going to result in me paying more of my hard earned money to the government as tax, but I can afford it until things pickup and unemployment starts to fall again and government debt is brought back under control.
