Budget 2009: A Summary

The budget in one word: craptacular.

To summarise it, Darling basically said he is going to pillage the purses and the wallets of everyone in the country to allow him to spend massive piles of cash whilst also borrowing eye-wateringly large amounts of money. True, that sounds like a lot of other Nu Labour budgets. But this time out the figures were much, much higher. And this time it was just brazen; there was no attempt to hide in anyway that his is a tax, spend and borrow budget.

Darling, and his evil overlord Brown, have shown us that they are numerically dyslexic morons with no concept that the actions they take now are going to have crippling affects on the country later down the line. We'll be talking about this budget for a while yet; we'll be suffering from it for a lot longer.
