He totally fudged the question on fuel duty. <BR/><BR/>Every Tory politician when asked about tax should hammer on about the National Debt. Why can't the Tories promise tax cuts? Because the National Debt is out of control. <BR/><BR/>With £31bn in interest payments each year on a total debt of £581bn all the Tories can do is promise to start to pay off the national debt and then cut tax when the interest payments fall.<BR/><BR/>Right now, when families are burdened with huge debts of their own, the mill stone of bond-funded debt is easily comprehensible to all voters. <BR/><BR/>Telling voters about the size of the National Debt might also counter the "Brown was a great chancellor" crap we keep hearing.<BR/><BR/>With the government borrowing £45.7bn this year (includes the £2.7bn 10p tax fiddle) public finances are in a complete mess.<BR/><BR/>Ruth Lea made a stab at explaining this but never bothered to mention any hard facts.<BR/><BR/>Every voter should know the size of the National Debt. It is the single biggest issue, connecting EVERYTHING from police pay to fuel duty to the 10p tax to our pulling out of the International Hadron Collider.<BR/><BR/>Pickles, for one, ought to grasp this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-88533271673021572142008-05-30T13:34:00.000+01:002008-05-30T13:34:00.000+01:00Frank Field has been brilliant.
