British Economy- I thought this was solved?

Now they're back, and from our favorite Labour scapegoat, Ed Balls. I must agree with David Cameron and say that Ed Balls is the most annoying person in British politics, and today he justified why, because his claims are not justifiable and the ones that he proposes aren't much better either. He "claims" to have estimated Tory spending cuts on unprotected Whitehall departments to £70 billion, if they win a majority, and that the Labour alternative would be stopping winter fuel allowance for those "better off" and limiting rises in child benefits. Let me start examining....

Like many of us, I was suspecting the British economy to take a step back from the General Election this year, it's been in the headlines more often not for the wrong reasons, and now that's it back on track, we should just leave it alone. But Labour come riding in, again. I've long protested Labour's argument with the economy, simply because it stands up to as much scrutiny as paper does with water, it fall apart. Promise good social reforms. Spend investment. Deficit increases. Recession. Up sticks, better luck next time. And to say this has been a repeated time and time again is an understatement.

Firstly, Mr Balls deserves the sack for contradicting a statistic. It would only cost £30 billion to cut the unprotected Whitehall departments, and being Shadow Chancellor, I think he should get his numbers right. Secondly, if he doesn't like that statistic, limiting child benefits isn't going to help his record as a left wing politician, and whilst his winter fuel allowance restriction is aimed at "better off" pensioners, he's going to get some wrath from his own side. That's not the answer to a failing economy, that's not even going to save those "unprotected" Whitehall departments, all it will do is give more publicity towards Labour's economic policies, and their evident failures.

Justified by the ISF (Institute for Fiscal Studies), the Tories would cut around £23-30 billion, and Labour wouldn't barely make a cut. This is why Cameron's ideology of Labour is being accepted, More tax, more borrowing, more deficit. And where have we heard that before? Congratulations Labour if you get in, but if you do, be prepared for me to say: "I told you so!" if another recession comes along. Good day.
