Welfare spending!

Welfare spending!

Postby Guest » Fri Mar 29, 2013 3:00 am

The Tories, the newspapers and bloggers not far from here keep pumping out the message that Labour built up the welfare state to levels we can't afford.

If that's true then the tories themselves need a reality check. Here's the data from PESA covering the expenditure relative to GDP from what they inherited up to the fnancial collapse.

The conservatives lies, fallacies and misdirections flow like water whenever we see three or more of those neo-cons get together in the same room anywhere...

The historical statistics (from now on referred to as the "neo-con hysterics" ) also show that taxes have always risen the most steeply under Tory governments; governments services are also nearly always cut back sharply under Tory regimes - only to be rebuilt under the next 2 or 3 terms of "liberal" or "socialist" parties; the poorest half of the population always suffer the most under Tory policies; all so the Tories can make their millionaire backers that much richer..
Such is the nature of the Conservative beast. :monkey: :slap:
