Strange though that President Obama is going down the same path as GB isn't it? aiming to stimulate the economy by spending now on public projects, tell me what the Tory alternative is, baton down the hatches and every man for himself.

Oh that'll be shortly before he forces the UK to go cap in hand to the IMF having mismanaged the economy for a decade and pushed it into a gutter.

Absolutely ridiculous, Britain is nowhere near the situation it was in when Healy went to the IMF in the 70s, as regards mismanaging the economy from day one as chancellor, where were you in over a decade of boom.
GB certainly isn't my favourite politician but making claims like that are fanciful, whoever would have been in power during the last ten years wouldn't have done a lot different concerning the economy, if it had been the Tories they would have given out more tax cuts and spent less on the public services, but we'd still be in this current situation.
But muddying the waters with claims of total financial mismanagement over a decade which just by fluke gave us the longest period of growth in modern times sounds like a case of sour grapes.
