Crossrail is exactly the kind of infrastructure project that should have been invested in. Good, skilled job creation, unskilled job creation and an environmentally friendly result. That and a high speed rail system are
exactly the kind of project even a small government fan like me is perfectly happy to see happen. They employee people, they stimulate the economy on many levels, they're good for the environment and there's a payback there which will reduce the deficit in the longer term.
Given you make 25k a year your income tax bill will be going down thanks to the coalition, as a higher earner and consumer I'll be picking up the slack as the policies are broadly redistributive.
I trust you'll remember that next year when thanks to this coalition you see your income tax go
down from a big allowance increase, and continue to go down until you pay no tax on your first 10k?
Nah you'll probably find something else to complain about, even though the income tax drop will more than compensate you for a 2.5% VAT increase.
Just as a reminder, pointless as facts are for you, whoever got in services would be taking a cut, just a question of when and how much. Yes you have Labour to thank for that, they're the ones who spent too much.
