I hear what you're saying, but unfortunately, we need the businesses to recover and start making money and creating jobs again before we can start to recover, that is why corporate tax is being dropped and the grants for small and new businesses are being protected.

When business booms, so does everything else.

We'll all feel it a little bit, yes, now is the time to save not spend. Labour made it too easy and gave banks too much license to give people massive credit. No need to go back far to remember what happened with Northern Rock!

It's very unfortunate, but it's a case of us all having to take a short term hit in order to help the country get back on its feet.
