Risky Budget: Yesterday

First let’s look again at the problem by going back to the introduction of decimalization in 1971. Or was it 1972? It was like a licence to double prices of everything using decimalization as an excuse. Inflation became the norm. The same has happened as the result of Brexit. Now it is out of control. Greed is a disease, and the government are trying to cure it. Prices are rocketing, wages are struggling to keep up, homelessness could reach epidemic proportions. I say it already has. Services are struggling to cope. The NHS for example are near to giving up on their buildings. Schools would follow.

The Budget tries to address this problem by taking the profits sellers are making from higher prices back with taxes and redistributing them. Good idea, but , , , will it work ? I hope so, but it could make matters worse. I could spell out a few pitfalls, but I won’t do it here, in case they happen. Face it, the only way to an equal future and utopia, is a single Christian Church.
