So, what did you make of yesterdays efforts to boost the economy? Will it make you go out and spend more? Will you actually be any better off?

He did me the biggest in justice when he took away the 10p tax rate, dont think anything he is offering me now will make up for what it has cost me. Will have to wait and see.

He didn't just knock the 2.5%, there were other 'adjustments'.
As a childless working couple, we are, as always, the ones who do not see any benefit. Lets face it, what government has ever given anything to those who have always paid in and not taken out.

Exactly! We do not touch the system at all. What would happen if one of us were taken ill? We are the kind of people that will get no help whatsoever.....lets hope we never have to find out!
