The initial level of spending and borrowing was set by LABOUR. The spending for 2010/11 would have been set by LABOUR. Not much could be done about that as the departmental budgets would have already been set. In 1997 Labour inherited a good situation and initially they continued with Conservative spending plans. Then they started borrowing to increase spending and that was long before 2008. Look at all the squeals about austerity because of the past excessive spending by LABOUR.
How many more times does this have to be pointed out?
