You can say this all you want, but the chancellor is out here saying that's how it works and telling the papers that black holes need to be filled, so in reality it's exactly how it works, isn't it?
This from Andy Haldane gets some basic stuff wrong, notably this:

Just wrong. Not how the fiscal framework works at all.
