Seems to me, no one really knows, either income and expenditure means something or it doesn't, an balance it seems not, either way, it needs sorting.

Oh dear rubbished by an organisation that is world famous for getting forecasts wrong. They said he had got it right only a few years ago, If they say its now wrong then its the ultimate proof that we are on the right track

Well austerity is working for me, being at the pointy end im feeling it. Shame that the few are paying the price, dont think we are all in it together though.

Would this IMF be the same buch that couldn't foresee the financial crisis back in 2008 and are only recently spelling doom and gloom if we vote out of Europe.

And what plans did they have for Greece before it's banking collapsed.

They have been wrong so many times, why do governments have anything to do with them?
