Can the UK afford a £30 billion railway?
Posted by michael on March 11, 2010
Brown has announced a £30 billion railway construction!
Is this government just plain daft or are they deliberately announcing policies that it is impossible for the UK to afford for many years?
If Labour hadn’t almost bankrupted the UK over their term in office then this would be seen to be a good thing.
But we simply cannot afford it now Brown and Labour have lost control of the economy. We have many years of increased taxes and reduced services just to clear the debts!
There will be many people losing their jobs as a result of the cuts in services and the need to reduce government expenditure across the board.
We have difficult times ahead thanks to Gordon Brown. It will be a long time before the UK recovers fully! This railway would be a good thing for the UK if it could be afforded. But we cannot afford it and the UK debt level means that we cannot afford very much at all.
