A new front in the political battle over the economy will be opened today when Labour tries to trump David Cameron's plans for finding big savings in government spending to keep down taxes.
The Treasury's drive to reduce Whitehall waste has found between £4bn and £5bn more than the £30bn it has already announced. The efficiency savings will be used to limit the hike in borrowing needed to fund the tax cuts to be announced in Monday's pre-Budget report by the Chancellor, Alistair Darling.
Ministers hope the move will undermine Tory attacks on Gordon Brown's "borrowing binge". The extra savings will come on stream in 2010/11
Yeah, fucking right.
Meantime, have a look at this, from dizzy:
The dotted downwards lines are his borrowing figures and his predictions for the coming years. The solid orange line that rises in an approximate 30 degree angle upward trend is reality.
"borrowing for this year and future years is therefore £27 billion (2003), £24 billion (2004), £23 billion (2005), £22 billion (2006) and £22 billion (2007)." Budget 2003
"borrowing for this year will fall to £34 billions (2004) and in future years fall further to £33 billions (2005), falling again to £29 billions (2006), then falling to £28 billions (2007), £24 billions (2008) and £22 billions (2009). Budget 2004
"[it] will be £34bn (2005) this year falling to £32bn (2006) next year, then falling again to £29bn (2007), falling to £27bn (2008), then to £24bn (2009) and then £22bn (2010)." Budget 2005
"[borrowing] will be £37bn this year, £36bn next year, then £30bn, falling to £25bn, £24bn and £23bn in 2010-11" Budget 2006
"the figure for [borrowing] this and future years will be £35 billion (2007) - over 1 billion less than forecast at the Pre Budget Report - then 34 (2008), 30 (2009), 28 (2010), 26 (2011) and 24 billion (2012)" Budget 2007
The motherfuckers lie about everything. They lied about the budget, year after fucking year after fucking year. How can we believe that these fucking savings will ever happen?
They just want the fucking headlines, don't they? How can they be bringing savings onstream in 2010 without us starting to see things changing now?
And most importantly: HOW THE FUCK IS SAVINGS IN 2010 GOING TO FUCKING HELP US NOW, YOU CUNTS???

In brownland on the planet prick announcing £100billion borrow and spend then cutting it by 50% is a real saving you can spend.
If there is one thing that really, really pisses me off about Brown it's his insistence on pluralising the word 'billion'. It's £10 billion, not £10 billions you monocular cunt.
He'll be doing it with 'trillion' next. Just you wait.
All empires die eventually under the weight of their own decadence. There will come a day when the govt goes to the money well and it will be dry. Just make sure that if it happens in your lifetime that you are prepared for the destruction thereby released.
