Britain takes Tories at its best ! Deficit ? For decades the US have an horrendous deficit. In 2010 it amounts to $13 trillion dollars, 88.9% of its GDP. Even so they keep their economy growing up. They did not cut essential services or laid off public jobs. They even managed to reform access to health services to the poorest families over there. Instead of draconian measures, they regulated the Banks which are the culprits of the mess that the world is at moment. This is the same old Tories in power with the same selective and unfair policies. Now they have the excuse of a "deficit" to inflict us the most regressive policy in modern history. I still can't believe that the Liberal Democrats are contributing to this. Shame on you.
Although I agree that we need to help poor countries, I think that if we do need to make cuts, we should prioritise our people first. £ 13 billion to foreign aid is 10 times more than the cuts on housing benefit which helps many families to have a roof over their heads.

It is a joke when the CONDEM talks about cutting costs and at the same time they are prepared to spend a minimum of £80 billion to replace Trident nuclear defence system. Who wins the prize ? Armament corporations in US and some over here. So, we can cut about 1.3 million jobs, deprive more our already deprived poor families, forcing people to find a job where there is not, laying off 35k police officers etc. Even the far right newspaper Daily Mail says that the cuts on welfare will cost many lives and increase alcohol-related deaths. Before cutting services and reducing welfare, first we need to pump the economy to create jobs, not the other round.
