@cpeedell @DerrenBrown it's a shame that it's utter bullshit

@gjo247 @DerrenBrown Great academic critique, Graham. Well done, mate. You really convinced me otherwise!

@cpeedell @DerrenBrown no recent bailouts, 5 years of "Tory austerity" and the govt is STILL spending $100bn more per year than it receives

@cpeedell @chrisweitz Who is Mark Blyth and what are his credentials?

.@marilyncole5 @cpeedell ? Being correct might be enough, but he is professor of international political economy at brown.

@chrisweitz @cpeedell At Brown. Explains a lot, and makes him more liberal, but not correct. Unnecessary govt. spending is obvious.

@marilyncole5 @cpeedell yes we should applaud austerity programs like the one that's done so well for Greece -- oh.

@chrisweitz @cpeedell Dude, we will never agree. Two different minds. You see no waste in govt. where I see $$$. I'm not rich, you'll pay.

@marilyncole5 @cpeedell if you hate government spending so much I hope you never need Medicare.

@chrisweitz @cpeedell Too bad we couldn't just discuss without being insulting. In the end, I still dislike govt. waste. I wish we all did.

@cpeedell this is great. thanks for sharing.

@cpeedell @StephenMangan - In fact, Labour's spree under Gordon Brown came to £1.3 trillion. Just Google it.

@philliphodson @StephenMangan Which George Osborne fully supported http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6975536.stm …

@cpeedell @StephenMangan - Sorry, I thought your point was banking caused all the debt. Now you concede it was the Labour Party's policy.

@philliphodson @StephenMangan New Labour adopted Thatcherite neoliberal economic policies. Tories & Labour both to blame

@cpeedell @StephenMangan - Thatcher loathed Labour's tax and spend policies which make debt dangerous. U keep changing subject. So long.

@philliphodson ...And you can't do math, which is odd, for someone complaining about debt. Without taxing and spending, the economy crashes

@CrissaKentavr - And you don't know English cultural references. 'Tax & Spend' is a saying, and an oulook. And too much of it kills growth.
