Why would they? The rich love culling the poor. STOP VOTING FOR THEM!
Welcome to 2022. You’ll not be able to afford food and you’ll be happy.
Drop in *Richard Partington’s* piece too, as it adds…
>[Observer: Sunak pours scorn on the OBR’s dire warnings – but the facts speak for themselves](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/03/sunak-pours-scorn-on-the-obrs-dire-warnings-but-the-facts-speak-for-themelves)

>Anonymous sources told the Times that Sunak “absolutely viscerally hates the OBR”, saying the Treasury forecaster had made unidentified “normative policy judgements” – expressing an opinion about the way things ought to be, rather than impartially describing the outlook for the economy and public finances.
Yes, but The Guardian would have us borrow and spend with no limits.
Austerity allows the money to flow more towards the top. They do not want to save money, they want to horde it for themselves and prevent us from having it.
The trough need to be refilled.
Now that all that unusable PPE has been paid for there’s not much left for the essentials
The term ‘austerity’ was only ever a cover for standard Tory policy. The economic fallout from the 2008 financial crash just gave them an opportunity to make it sound like it was going to be a temporary, necessary and noble sacrifice to get the country over the hump.
It was never that. It’s all the Tories ever do.
Spending money on public services means less money to give to their mates.
Why do you think they have cut them all,outsourced services and brought in consultant after consultant on how to “fix public service”.
The Tory model is to run it into the ground so then you have an excuse to privatise it and sell it to your friends and grab a stake yourself.
Why would they let it go? There making more money and garnering more power than ever before. If your a staunch tory this is a great time to be alive.
Why is anybody surprised that hyper capitalist Tories are fans of austerity?
Just play SimCity for ten minutes – raise your taxes high, reduce funding to all the services, and see how quickly citizens flee the city!
Cannot? Will not. Slight difference. This is a conscious choice to harm people, as it always was
Austerity is now and always was a mechanism for shifting wealth away from the people to the wealthy. Some people refuse to accept that the economy collapses when there’s nobody left that can spend money – and more frustratingly will argue to the bitter end that the people eroding the large wedge of the markets are “the only ones who know how to run the economy”
A glance at the article suggests that it offers no real argument for its conclusions. That is not to say that its conclusions are false.
Sad thing is, morons are gonna keep them in seat for longer
