Where the budget is bad

All these cuts that they are proposing will only lead to half of the projected savings because its mostly consumer spending that these cuts will hit.I wonder have the gov factored this point into their projected savings?

Prob not,

they are trying to fight a recession with without monetary policy which is now in the hands of the EU.I think if a country goes into recession then the gov should have the right to control their own interest rates.Slashing interest rates is the quickest way to recover from a recession.

encourages borrowing,

--- There is NO MONEY to borrow, the Banks are almost bust.
If they did have, JOE PUBLIC would have difficulty in finding collateral to borrow against
because of the " once bitten twice shy" concept of property values.
Centeral Bank interest rate is rock bottom at present anyway.
One can see now the reason why Britain retained its independent currency.
