WE THREE IN UNHAPPYDROME.

This week saw our intrepid party leaders, Brown/Cameron/Clegg, addressing the CBI. The Prime Minister was spouting his Keynes theories, which include printing and borrowing money to spend our way out of recession. This approach is undoubtedly to help him stagger to the finishing line next May/June. If this were an acceptable method, it would have to be backed by a strong manufacturing base, however, we are aware that this no longer exists, and all we would achieve would be to make manufacturing nations wealthy by way of vastly increased imports.

Alternatively, Cameron at least acknowledges the need for considerable prudence; as with any economy, national or domestic, we cannot live off borrowed money. This is the only stance now left to us, as I am sure that the IMF is standing by to consider our financial status in the world. Clegg's opinion is probably not important, even if we finish up with a 'hung parliament'.

It is now looking ominous that the misleading suggestion we are emerging from this economic mess is because of Brown's handling of the economy. This only indicates the lack of understanding by the general public. We have this enormous problem because of Brown, who makes the situation more dire every day.
