Only time will tell whether the coalition is right unless the Labour party is voted in at the next election and they have the opportunity to try out their solution. Time will tell.
We have always lived above our means, never been different since money was invented, no matter what government we have had, we have always been at war with someone, and wars cost money.
Yes Nulabour were in Debt, but not all their fault, with financial institutions going bust on them to compound their problem.
Where they went wrong was not regulating the banks.
But this applies not just to the UK, but the world in general, the rich are the ones sitting pretty, making hay whist the sunshine's, and if we don't do something about it at the next election, it is our own fault.
