Here's some figures for your consumption:
The UK is the only G7 country not to have a stimulus package this year. Out of the G20, the UK's only company is Argentina.
The UK bosom that Labour and Tory politicans say that Scotland relies on is being shown more and more to have been made of cheap implants that have now been removed.
Meanwhile, over 60 leading economists have come out strongly against cuts in public spending. The media have for some reason portrayed this as backing the Labour position. This is the same Labour government that have imposed an £814m cut on the Scottish Government this coming year.
Public spending is needed now more than ever to replace reduced private spending in the economy. Cuts will only increase unemployment and therefore increase welfare spending i.e. increasing the deficit. Investing in jobs gets unemployment payments down and brings in tax - decreasing the deficit in a proper manner. Labour's cuts will make a double-dip out of their recession - if we're even out of it at the moment.
Have you heard any Scottish Labour MPs talking about this? The way they've danced to the Tory tune on cuts shows they cannot be trusted. This is why they need replaced.
