Conservative Surrey serves the people best !

The BBC reports today that Surrey CC ( Conservative controlled ) has managed to make £40m between 2005 and 2007.

At last good news !

They have been able to employ more front line service personnel including 120 more Social workers ( not sure how I feel about that one ! They will no doubt vote Lib Dem under the mistaken belief that inefficiency is good for job security).

Still what about that... not an announced and re-announced target like the ones that Gordon Brown announces - but real and achieved.

In short Vote Conservative !

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
