Simpliified:
Economy tanks. Therefore less tax revenue and more benefits to pay out to those not working.
That doesn't mean that the government does not cut spending elsewhere eg defence, councils, infrastructure, etc. |
And over time the deficit would dramatically reduced as the economy recovered, without "austerity" being required. It took 8 years before it was brought down to pre-crash
levels. Labour still added over 250bn to the debt BEFORE the crash when the economy was supposedly doing well.
