RicW 67 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 It ain't over til the fat lady sings. We are in for a double dip; the economy will slow down as the Con-Doms bring in their tax cuts; unemployment will rocket, the fat cats will get fatter. We are going to get another 20 years of free market capitalism. Me? I'm off to the hills with me guns and me dogs. Jamaica here I come! Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stick 2 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 i dont know about ireland but we are not out of recession. yes, "technically" based on gordon's figures we are, but how much public money did he plough into the economy over the winter? and then stuff like the scrappage scheme was extended .....because it was successful? no, because it gave brown the chance to have the quarterly figures out close to the election to show how wonderful a job he'd done rescuing us from the recession. they werent real world figures, they were vastly inflated by the government bailout spending to help win labour another election. just my 2p anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
