SKY News: George Osborne on Cutting Public Debt.

[Pepper6464]

Tories want tax cuts for the rich but that doesn't necessarily translate into the rich using that extra money to create jobs. Tax cuts should be given to families who are struggling and small businesses who want to grow and who want to create more jobs.

"The debate in British politics about how you share out the proceeds of growth.. that's over"

He wants that debate to be over because he knows that the Labour government gave Britain the longest continuous run of economic growth on record before the extraordinary situation of a global recession came along. The recession is coming to an end, so let's return to THAT and NOT to Conservative boom and bust because of a global recession.

Labour inherited an economy that had been growing strongly for 5 years from the Tories. He inherited an economy with inflation dead at 2.6%, interest rates at 6.5%.

Put our ''extraordinary'' growth into context. Britain grew the SLOWEST of any English speaking country. Yet, as Labour have reverted to the Keynesian doctrine, we should have been growing even faster because of the HUGE deficit developed by Brown. In fact, Ireland, America, New Zealand and America all left us for dead.
