Even if that's really true, what on earth makes you think they're going to take any notice of Peter Mandelson's answer? A 12% budget deficit, £167bn of borrowing, and he's lecturing us about other people's figures not adding up? <br /><br />Let's think about this. 30-odd business leaders, including the guys who run Sainsbury's, M&S, Easygroup, say putting up NI is a bad idea. Peter Mandelson & Co. say it's a great one, and that letting people keep a little bit of their own money instead of letting government waste it is "takes money out of the economy". Who are people going to take notice of?<br /><br />Coffee.

For example, the last time National Insurance went up, employment grew. "<br /><br />Err, might that be correlation rather than causation? Or Browns massive expansion of non jobs in the public sector? The idea that increasing costs on jobs will increase their number is a lie.<br /><br />Are Brown, Byrne and Darling so desperate and contemptuous of the public that they'll spew these and other economic falsehoods (not taxing is "taking money out of the economy"). Or are they just ignorant?<br /><br />Either way they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905040611865595428.post-83928978028635769972010-04-05T11:50:41.397+01:002010-04-05T11:50:41.397+01:00"Fire up the Quattro.
