LABOUR COME INTO POWER - SPEND IRRESPONSIBILY AND RUN OUT OF MONEY

COUNTRY IS ANGRY BECAUSE BAD FINANCIAL STATE, SO VOTE CONSERVATIVE IN

CONSERVATIVES HAVE LIMITED OPTIONS BECAUSE OF LABOUR STUPIDITY, HAVE TO INCORPORATE AUSTERITY INTO ECONOMIC PROGRAMME

PEOPLE ANGRY BECAUSE AUSTERITY IS HAPPENING, SAY LABOUR WOULD BE BETTER

LABOUR VOTED BACK IN

 

REPEAT

we got slammed particularly in the 2008 financial crash (that wasn't caused by labour lol you know this) because of our large finance sector

bailouts and spending are what helped pull us out of recession

not only that the spending wasn't even that much, spending was much higher during thatcher years

IMF paper on how the multiplier (government spending effect on economic growth) was massively underestimated https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2016/12/31/Growth-Forecast-Errors-and-Fiscal-Multipliers-40200

IMF paper on how austerity can actually undercut government revenue so much as to cancel out debt relief:https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2013/wp1367.pdf

excerpt:

Quote

Studies suggest that fiscal multipliers are currently high in many advanced economies. One important implication is that fiscal tightening could raise the debt ratio in the short term, as fiscal gains are partly wiped out by the decline in output. Although this effect is not longlasting and debt eventually declines, it could be an issue if financial markets focus on the short-term behavior of the debt ratio, or if country authorities engage in repeated rounds of tightening in an effort to get the debt ratio to converge to the official target. We discuss whether these problems could be addressed by setting and monitoring debt targets in cyclically-adjusted terms.

stressing this part: Although this effect is not longlasting and debt eventually declines, it could be an issue if financial markets focus on the short-term behavior of the debt ratio, or if country authorities engage in repeated rounds of tightening in an effort to get the debt ratio to converge to the official target.

does the bit in bold sound familiar?
