  Howard - he was also one of the 365 economists who claimed Geoffrey Howe's approach would not work in 1982!!!
  
  Here is something that the Adam Smith Institute have said about the budget:
  """his (Darling's) so-called 'stimulus package' is really just a manifesto for wasteful and ineffective spending increases, record levels of government borrowing and public debt, and higher taxes in the long term. I suggest that Darling should instead have announced a substantial rise in the personal allowance to put more money in the private sector economy, and balanced that with public spending restraint."""
  
  Just what I have been saying, except he did not mention the word 'cut' and used the more 'friendly' restraint instead.
  
  Howard - 'selective quoting' of course, surly you would not want the whole of what he said quoted!!!
