Executive Sadman Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Crazy isnt it. Borrowing >10% of GDP to induce massive growth of 1%. Thats a real GDP change of ~ -9% in my view. How long can this insanity continue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Loo Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 http://brickonomics....-the-axe-falls/ In the three months to May more public money was spent on construction than in any quarter on record. nice find "And if that isn’t deflating enough, there’s the almost inevitable probability that a slice of the pre-Election boost wasn’t down to the General Election but to firms catching up on work held up by the hideous weather at the start of the year. This will put the latest figures into a very flattering light." so it was the snow what dun it for us, Guv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes... one month of positive, but albeit misleading GDP figures, and Darling crawls out of the woodwork to claim that this "puts pay" to the argument of the coalition that cuts are needed, and that it proves the success of his policies.....!

plummet expert Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 http://brickonomics.building.co.uk/2010/07/a-last-hurrah-for-construction-before-the-axe-falls/ In the three months to May more public money was spent on construction than in any quarter on record. This shows that the Labour election printing press is still puffing and panting its way to death. It highlights that todays Qtr2 growth figures are going to turn out to be a false dawn. It does not 'justify Osbournes budget' in starting cutting early. But he still has no choice. The winter will look rather different as cuts start to take effect. I won't be buying Sterling yet - not until proper deleveraging has taken grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 I hate to say it but Mandy was dead right on the issue. Brown was a weird guy. Never realised his mother's family were all strong Tories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
