They've Saved Money...

at Whitehall and hope to save even more but it will mainly be gained from efficiencies so read that to mean people losing their jobs and others having to do more. In the present climate those who find themselves out of work are probably on lower wages and the bottom rung of  the career ladder so money saved, will probably be lost because they will be claiming help from the State, it's wrong to assume those being lost are long serving civil servants with a massive pension that are leaving.

We all know money saved  in one department will be diverted elsewhere. Or disappear.

The example given in the article of savings is that they are the equivalent this year alone to around £500 for each working household in Britain, the salaries of around 250,000 junior nurses or the cost of around 1.6 million primary school places.

Does this mean they will employ more nurses or it safeguards those who are already employed? Will schools benefit? Will they give that £500 back to those families who are struggling. The answer is...No! And they always drop into any such story, the term "Working Families" if they can. That works out around £1.25 per day.

Oh well, as you were...The article is a standard one issued to be used by whoever wants to print it.

Savings Made

They always give those examples, totally irrelevant. All it says to me is that 500 billion or more has been wasted over the last decade. It will 'disappear' because it was never there, just more borrowing.

Spot on and it happens whoever is in power. The actual cash probably doesn't exist. They all like to put out these stories for public consumption.

We could ask, you've been in power for two years so why has it taken so long to sort out? As it has still happened on your watch.

The other day I heard that our present Government had borrowed more money than the previous one but such a general story is hard to prove and get to the bottom of...
