Why Public Spending cuts are necessary

Gordon Brown's proligacy and deliberate stoking of a credit boom has left this country in a parlous state. As in 1979 it is the Conservatives that will have to fix the problems and so become hated. Wich reminds me of the Batman - Dark Knight quotation:

"Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice. "

Maybe that is the point of the Conservatives to do the right thing and so be hated.
