Brown is already talking to the IMF apparently. 1976 revisited.

Brown borrows to give tax cuts and will not cut public spending. The Tories do not borrow for tax cuts and will cut public spending. That says it all, and as long as they are in power our deficit will continue to increase which will mean big tax rises in 2010. Still, the British public love high taxes don't they.

He's helping them to find funding because he knows there is a good chance that he may need it. The deficit for this year will be 100 Billion and I heard him on the news yesterday say that 'all will be ok because of our low borrowing'. He is truly deluded.
