Every forecast has the same pattern - doom is around the corner! Cut spending, cancel all good things, make old people work in the mines, etc. Here's spending on Super - the surge is coming, anyminit!
At this rate, we will match current spend in Denmark & Sweden in 150 years time 😱 [2/n]

3. Leaving the economy on its arse not only tanks tax revenue, it also pushes Govt spend up - benefit costs, rent top-ups to save leveraged landlords, etc. Inconveniently for this Govt, getting out of the hole will absolutely rely on *investment not cuts*. Bill knew this in 2008 tbf [11/n]
