Insanity from the Independent on Sunday

A so-called panel of experts, in fact a group of journalists employed by the New Labour donating paper itself, asks twenty questions about the sterling collapse and Britain's bankruptcy among which is this particular nonsense:

Can we afford present levels of public spending?

The real question is can we afford not to spend on big infrastructure projects?

Naturally enough the panel does not answer, nor even attempt to consider the centuries old dilemma for the poverty stricken - namely how do you spend money you do not have and which NONE will lend?
