Boom and Busted

Originally published by Welwyn Hatfield Liberal Democrats

Ever since Labour took office, Gordon Brown has told us, "We will never return to the old boom and bust."

"If only it were true," said Parliamentary candidate, Paul Zukowskyj."Whilst the so called boom was underway, Brown was letting the country build up a mountain of debt and house prices get out of control.

"As a result, the country is one of the worst prepared for the global recession, far worse that nearly all other industrial countries.

"Mr Brown should have seen all the problems coming. Lib Dem Shadow Chancellor Vince Cable did.

"If Gordon Brown had followed his advice earlier, the country would be in a much stronger position for the huge economic storm that is beginning to hit us."
