There are times when things get revealed. Now even the sheep voters in this country could not be taken in by a cut everything but especially taxes stance from this government. So things like their cuts in corporation tax had to be done under a smokescreen. Now one of them has broken cover properly calling for big tax reductions alongside cuts in government spending.
The arguments are simple public expenditure has to be cut to reduce the deficit even if it causes a recession that increases the deficit
Taxes (mainly for the rich it should be said) must be cut to make the economy work. No suggestion that VAT which affects the poorer more is cut, it's the income tax that benefits the rich that needs to go.
If you are simple you buy into that junk.
In essence this is classic right wing stuff spun. This is small state low tax right wing nirvana.
The cuts have done very little to reduce the deficit, the reduced economic activity they have contributed to have pushed it up actually.
Today the Tories have made it "easier to employ people", by stripping whole rafts of workers of their rights and making it easier to sack them.
This coalition of the unelected really is showing it's true colours.
Not content, they have gone for the barmy. A plan to increase the motorway speed limit by 10 MPH. Now those of you who know anything about cars will know that 60 MPH is actually a very important speed. It's where aerodynamics becomes an issue. Between 60 and 70 a cars fuel consumption goes up by around 20 percent, the relation is not linear so between 70 and 80 it goes up even more. And No i don't mean another 20 percent on what it uses at 60 I mean about 25 percent more than in uses at 70.
So this stupid measure is going to hit everyone right in the pocket. This of course won't matter to all those rich Tories who won't be paying tax any more.... The trucks will still be limited to 56, where their breeze block aerodynamics is less of an issue but everyone else will be able to travel 25mph faster than them not 15.
Everything will be happening lots quicker, less time for reaction.
The professional motorway driver will be OK what you will see is more big smashes at holiday time. It won't do much for journey times though, congestion is the big issue on the roads today. I have often lately gone on an economy kick, driving places at 60 instead of 70. The surprise was how little effect it had on journey times even on quite long trips. The effect on fuel consumption though was quite spectacular. I expect the effect of travelling everywhere at 80 rather than 60 would be pretty spectacular too....
Maybe those couple of minutes would turn out to be vital to those Tories freed from tax burden rushing round the country creating the jobs we don't have.
I am a little short of convinced....
