    George Osborne and the £10bn Budget dilemma - Telegraph

    What would you do if you found you had a spare 10bn? What should George so with the 10bn?

        If it is not used to pay down debt investors shall label the UK as a credit card rate tart.

        We've got to be seen to be paying down debt unless we don't give two bleeps about our credit rating.

          IMO cut corporation tax. Go for Growth.

          But more importantly red tape needs to be cut.

                  Do you mean cut personal taxes?

                    Any taxes - this talk of "red tape" is overrated and primarily used by politicians to avoid cutting actual taxes in exchange for some "red tape" being cut.
