The six billion in spending cuts announced this week, that=92s already
got us all scratching our heads, is only the start.

Just think on this, over the next two to three years, and probably
this year as well, it=92s going to have to be nearer twenty to thirty
billion a year in public sector spending cuts.


Wrong. The figure is £60 billion a year for the next three years, ten
times more than this year's £6.2 billion fleabite.

And it wouldn't have mattered which party or parties formed the
government, because all three of the main parties had projected cuts
in the deficit of between £52 billion and £62 billion per year for the
next three years 2011/12. 2012/13 and 2013/14.
