I know i am reserecting an old thread, but it seems more apt as the comiserating fits right in with this so i feel safer posting on this thread than starting a new one
so anyone join me in commisterating/crying over the new budget?? Hand holding needed.
we are again techniqually teeny better off but i am so worried for my kids future.
And then there is everyone, already screwed & screwed by everything the bastards have done (listed in this thread plenty) screwed yet again.

The Budget was for the rich at the expense of the poor, but… The BBC Question Time aired on 17th March had the Conservative Education MP saying that the cuts of £4.4 Billion to PIP were still being discussed, despite the consultation concluding earlier this year. 10 Downing Street also announced that this was not definite and was still being discussed. Now that Ian Duncan Smith has resigned as DWP MP and David Cameron has said he is puzzled and confused by the resignation, it’s likely that someone is worried about being made George Osbourne’s scape goat for over stepping the line of indecency (despite it being crossed many times over the past 6 years of Conservative Parliament). It appears that this cut to PIP will not go ahead with all the attention it has created. I can’t help but wonder why the Conservatives have reacted so fast, it must be that they are using smoke and mirrors. They seem to be trying to keep our focus on the PIP cuts so as we will be distracted from something else they are doing quietly that is their real agenda. What’s even scarier is that we still have 4 more years of David Cameron, George Osbourne and Ian Duncan Smith, and let’s not forget Jeremy Hunt too. The real thing that disturbs me concerning the Tory policies is, they are very much in favour of Austerity, making cut backs to reduce the out goings of the government. This is the same as you or I spending more money than we have, so we reduce spending to reduce our own personal deficit. Once we are only spending what we have, we are living within our means, but we don’t have anything to attract anyone to invest in us, which means our economy will have no value. sources: here and here.
