The bottom line of this budget so far: lower growth and higher borrowing … indeed higher borrowing for as far as the eye can see. There is not a surplus in sight … even though the Chancellor is predicting continued growth … indeed on his projections, after over 20 years of consistent economic growth (1992 – 2012) … we will still be borrowing! Quite amazing.
