Budget 2014

[V8Ian]

BEST QUOTE OF ANY ERA?

"The Budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero, 55 BC

So, evidently we've not learned much over the past 2,069 years.

Whatever happens I think we are all in for some pain Ian.


I heard one commentator the other day remark on why the government is so hell bent on balancing the budget so quickly, seems others would think some lesser taxes/cuts etc would balance it still but over a slightly longer time and without the hurt being so severe, other comments?


This thread will be a good one mods, blame Ian, he started It

Doubtful you'll need the popcorn, I think this thread will be gone shortly.

Does it matter ?

The world is coming to an end.
We are all doomed, Doomed, I say.

You don't think that people will be able to keep away from party politics, and instead just keep this thread as pure analysis of each budget change?

No, you're probably right.

OK,so lets start here.........

Nothing much will change,they will take from those that have it,and give to others that don't have as much...

Oh,and keep wasting it,wasting it,and wasting it.

And hopefully,get rid of some of their own perks once and for all.

Just my 2 cents worth......

Now where is that can of coke and bag of popcorn

No, you're probably right.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I don't think that will be the case.

[Mick_Marsh]

So far this thread has been about eating popcorn.
Wake up everyone. It's breakfast.

Great quote Ian.
