Cloud Potato posted:Express: Aren't the Tories still increasing the deficit even with all their noises about reducing it, as well as Labour reducing it from the previous Tory incumbents up until 2008, why let reality get in the way.

Yes but you see the current narrative is that Labour destroyed the economy by borrowing irresponsibly, introducing reams of red tape and giving the public sector 800% pay rises. Can't let things like facts get in the way of that. You can prove anything with facts.

Is it true that Labour reduced the deficit from Major? And how much of that can be put down to the magic of PFI?

Mr. Squishy posted:Is it true that Labour reduced the deficit from Major? And how much of that can be put down to the magic of PFI? Probably a very lot (but PFI was a Major invention wasn't it). The simple fact is, the global financial meltdown caused the deficit to go ballistic, and that was set up by Our Lord God Thatcher. Betjeman fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Sep 5, 2013 |

The deficit was already declining when Blair took over, as the post-Black Wednesday business optimism encouraged investment by businesses into the economy. The deficit began to increase again in the mid-2000s as investment in the economy by businesses started to decline again. These two graphs illustrate the issue pretty well: Labour tried to counter the dearth of new investment in the economy by spending large amounts of money in the public sector which created the ever growing deficit in the public sector, illustrated here: The question now is how to get the huge corporate profits of the 2000s invested into the economy.
