He may have to go into the private sector, where overspending by billions a year for years on end has such consequences as bankruptcy or being kicked off the board by a shareholder revolt. Regrettably the UK population seem a tad more gullible and willing to forgive.
It is amusing to note all this nonsense is over about 1% of the entire budget - clearly total destruction of life as we know it. Reflects on how left-wing Brown is that he is making such a big deal out of such a relatively small sum, and indeed on how lightly Conservative Cameron is that that is all he advocates initially.
I do wonder when we became so scared of such a small reduction in the budget, 1%, 6bn, while most apparently have no issues with Labour planning on only running deficits of 5.5% of GDP, >80bn/year in 4 years given the positive reaction to Labour's economic plans.
To hell with the bills, let's see if we can get our sovereign credit rating into the B's before 2020, AAA is far too elitist for the reverse snobbery that seems to pervade right now.
