    The only way you'll be better off after this budget is if you're on the dole.

    We're all going to be screwed after today. Food prices, drink, cigarettes and electricity/fuel, paying more taxes. Bad times. Anyone on the dole before this recession hit are the ones who need to take a look at themselves..anyone who has lost their job recently who have mortages to pay I sympathise and hope this budget is not harsh on them...

    I used to call the Finance Minister "Scrooge", for the timing of his budget. Can't use that label now. :(

    well they're all taking a 10% pay cut, higher taxes on those well off.


    but don't let that get in a way of a moan when deficit is stil 6.5% because they're too scared to make decent changes which are needed.

    It should be more, as their performance since in power under Bertie and post Berties has been a shambles.
