Stating that the budget ‘pays for the past but plans for the future’, George delivers a ‘though but fair’ and ‘unavoidable budget’.

Starting with saying that recovery is still in its infancy, Darling continued to flow into a speech about the state of our economy, how the bank credit remains weak and that improved financial regulation must be a key priority (something which the majority of us are well aware of) – Darling continued to state that his budget was built to secure recovery and set a route to long term prosperity.

Typically the “impoverished Middle Class” families have experienced a significant drop in income, have buy to let portfolios which are worth less than the secured loans and are not selling and the cash flow crises has meant they have had to rely on credit cards and loans to keep afloat.
