Yes til we stop printing money !!!!!!!

***ooops i read your question wrongly.

I think we are being fooled into thinking we are out of it prematurely......but I think the worst is yet to come once they stop printing the money and things attempt to return to normal xx

I think we are slowly coming out of it. Three months ago I was competing with 60-70 other applicants for any job. Now it's down to 20-30, which gives me a slightly better chance.

We're way behind everyone else in coming out of recession, but I dont' think it's deliberate, I just think it's lousy government policy. They havent' got a clue what they're doing. Ok in the good times, useless in the bad.

It will all change backwards again once they reverse the fiscal stimulus TW.........

**edit*** this was all designed to give us all a feel good factor prior to the election.

Once whatever government is in power we're basically buggered........it's going to hurt and hurt badly to pay this humungous debt off !!!!

Yes, fiscal stimulus is one of the bad policies I'm talking about lol.

We'll come out of it, we always do, no matter what government we end up with, so we will again. The question is...how long.

But no way will I ever vote Tory. ...

I'm not ashamed to say I'm going to TW.

Maggie got us out of this c**p last time (though admittedly she lost the plot towards the end of her reign) but I would trust Tory economics over Labour anytime to get us out of the dung.........x

People call Social Credit 'funny money', but the present financial system is certainly no laughing matter.

And as for printing money, that is what the privately owned banks do every time somebody goes to them for a loan/overdraft.
