The worst citizen, in terms of the economy, is one who is "responsible."
They don't have children, don't watch TV, don't buy music, don't waste their money at coffee shops, movie theatres, bars or shopping malls.
They only eat low-cost unprocessed, healthy food like brown rice, oatmeal, beans, lentils, and vegetables. So in essence super healthy.
They walk or bike and use public transit and the public library.
They don't become addicted to unhealthy substances and they rarely need any health care. They are a scourge on the economy, and an enemy to job creation.

So the question is do the pros outweigh the cons?
One thing is for certain...we are now in the utterly ridiculous position of the government telling us to stop smoking, stop drinking and drive our cars less...yet they are dependent on the taxes from those three things for their existence.
You couldn't make it up!

Now this is genius !!!
He’s a financial genius that Osborne! After 3 years 8 months he drives inflation back down to where it was 4 years ago. Incredible! 
You’re not just an ignorant, insecure, juvenile homophobic little we-wee (I’d say you were a pr1ck but you’re just too immature), you’re a desperate little myopic tw@t clutching at any passing straw to support your already discredited argument.

We ARE booming again...if you only look at figures for London and the SE.
Last month they anounced record falls in the jobless totals...yet in Yorkshire, Humberside, the NE and the NW the totals went UP again for the fourth month running.
Humberside now has nearly 9% unemployed. And every couple of weeks another factory closes in Grimsby, or the steelworks sheds yet more jobs.
If you want to see part of the reason, visit the new Eastern European states that joined the EC a few years back now. The EC has ploughed €billions in to them. They have all brand new factories with SOFTA production lines and hey...guess where lots of companies are now moving their production to?
We are literally cutting our own throats. We were unbelievably stupid to allow these states into the EC. It was pressure from the USA that carried it, of course........

Oh my god! How will the Scoobynet moaners cope with another piece of remotely positive news? Perhaps three pages of rhetoric about scum bag politicians?
I'll check back in a couple of days to find out

Yes but the article uses the following falacious statement :-
"A daily mail investigation has discovered....."
Which actually means
"We have concoted lots of vague inuendo and smears around the odd irelevant facts and carefully worded them to avoid any libel laws so here goes....."

Wasn't it Labour who removed , fuel, energy and mortgages from the calculation, replacing them with leather sofas and DVD players? You know...things folk can't do without?

Do you ever check your facts before posting?
No wonder you have such a daft world view, most of the things that you believe (want to believe) are completely wrong

Interesting, from the BBC as well:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10604117
Blair came to power and inherited a falling unemployment rate which then soon flatlined before rising sharply. Back in came the tories and it flatlined again before falling sharply again.

Mr blair is one of the biggest terrorists of all time.
So many have suffered at his hands and still continue to suffer whilst the guy relishes in huge wealth living the life of Riley!!
99% of what has come out of his mouth is utter lies.

The facts are the facts, I don't need to post them up, you just need to try checking them before posting. But as a help, try the ONS website that should be your first port of call before making daft statements about inflation
