          Well, the experts reckon there's going to be a lot of changes made in this budget, including removal of all stamp duty on property under £250K in an attempt to reinflate the housing market bubble.

          Lots of fiddling with tax bands to make the middle classes cough up a lot more tax whilst leaving the rich and the chav classes alone.

          Usual class war stuff to hit those that work hard.

              A waste of time really, the real budget will be after the election, very littleof what is said today will be law, there will not be the time.
              "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
