The BS that is....

... Balancing the books

So many people are unaware of what the above actually means, it's just a way of cutting anything that doesn't make a profit, so the entire public sector.

The Government uses terminology like this so that the people don't realise that it is actually having a negative affect on their living standards, the people have actually started to accept that this is the way it should be. I have always believed that if you spend your entire life working you should also get to reap the rewards such as: a functional health service, a good educational sector, good infrastructure such as roads and affordable public transport and have a comfortable pension to enjoy in retirement.

The Government make it sound like a business, yet they are not dealing with a few

hundred employees, what they are doing affect the entire country and real people are being left on the street as a result of their budget cuts. They don't understand that a country will always run a deficit because you are dealing  with the lives of millions of people- these are the people that ELECTED you into power to try and help them, but all this Tory Government is doing is screwing us over by eviscerating the welfare state.

People on Job seekers Allowance or Disability Allowance are the people who are going to be hurt the most, yet they are not the welfare scroungers that the Right Wing media would have you believe, that honour goes to the banksters and corporations that get tax breaks, Government subsidies and bail out paid by the TAXPAYER.

Osborne has said that they are going to raise the living wage to £9 per hour by 2020, but what he doesn't tell you is that by then inflation would have blown up by then and what sounded like a huge raise will be the bare minimum. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but you wouldn't be able to live (with any dignity at least!) on £9 per hour, and it will be an herculean task if you've got dependents!

So in the end, the public is getting screwed while the banksters and corporations are being allowed to screw us again by cherry picking what gets cut to serve THEIR  bottom line.

And who have been scapegoated for all our ills... the immigrants of course! I urge everyone to read beyond the sensationalist headlines and learn to question more.
