I doubt we have ever climbed out of the first dip.Only manipulated figures would indicate this IMHO..

The country has been in a bad way for a few years now,and it will be another 3-4 years until we see any good period of extended growth..

Its cyclic,there aint a lot we can do about it.

Despite all the "talking up" that we see from time to time, I think it is grasping at straws in an attempt ti hide the real situation.

This country is so deeply in debt that it will take quite a long time to get back to the strong position the economy was in before NL were voted in and started to wreck it within a couple of years.

I think it is a mistake to say just keep on borrowing and spend our way out of the parlous position we are in at the moment. We already have an enormous debt as we know and the interest payments on it are more that we can earn at the moment.

The combination of the throwing our cash around like water, allowing the bankers a free reign when they could not be trusted, and overborrowing in "spades" in order to make things look good even though they were not, in order to effectively buy votes has sent our financial position well and truly down the tubes!

It will takes years to get the deficit down to reasonable figures and decrease our interest payments so that we dont have to borrow even more to pay the interest on the borrowed money as well the the very expensive PFI's that NL let us in for.

Historically this sort of situation has always occurred whe a Labour government has been in power.

During the last 13 years they have really excelled themselves with their grossly irresponsible style of government which has done nothing significant for the good of the people in this country who have supported it in the past. We see what we have contributed being given away to those who have not earned it.

We can only hope for a sea change in governmental thinking and it will not be an easy ride.

Should there be a capital S and N following the comma in the thread title?

Anyway.....! Certainly everyone appears to being made redundant and someone has spotted that the whole of the yoof generation was sent to University and that is all going to change now...so,back to the time of the headline 'millions unemployed'very soon
