Isn't it a typical insult?

The budget is for 'Makers, Doers and Savers'. Bet that makes the 8 million unemployed feel much better. Don't give me any rubbish about the Tories creating jobs. These are no-jobs. Unpaid, low-paid and crafty short-term jobs where they don't get any pension contributions paid.

    Duck & Dive; 25...Get up & Run: 31...Make 'em wait; 58 - I've got 'em all 'ere! Let's just hope someones 'kid' (at 58) isn't as sour-faced in a bingo hall with no friends as they are now!

    But seriously - wondering if this Budget was to drag the boys & girls back...who indeed took the 31 ball and ran to UKIP - and will it work?

    From where do you get the figure of 8 million unemployed? If your sources are wrong about that (and they are) then they're wrong in their interpretation of the Budget proposals. Read good quality independent journals, not newspapers.

    So you're strategy would be to make all hard earned workers who save for their financial future and who have been losing out due to low interest rates, i.e. earn paltry sums of money resulting in their savings actually being worth less, in order to further help the unemployed?

    Hardly an incentive for anyone to save is it which would result in less taxes coming in for the government, less money for banks to lend out and everybody but the elite rich living off a state pension would mean everyone then having to pay even more taxes and the economy struggling?

    The budget is a bribe to lure UKIP voters back to the Tories poor pensioners and the sick and disabled who need help are getting a hammering again.People need to ask themselves is it right that the disabled and sick should be squeezed again and again are the disabled undeserving know? Milliband and co are useless we need a real opposition.

    Hi so why rely on others to get you want you want make some effort instead of waiting for others to do it for you. cleaners are always needed. yes some of us who ended up with well paid jobs got our hands dirty. cleaning toilets and sweeping up and doing manual jobs,

    spent my life doing the sorts of jobs others thought where too menial for them.

    so it really is a case of do it yourself.car washing,window cleaning,pushing a broom and even a dustman is better than being a pain in the butt.

    so get your hands dirty weeding a garden for an old person instead of wanting it handed to you on a plate. decorating old people's homes for donations to your college fund so you could get a better paid job.

    Source(s): think yourself too good is the problem most have i am even disabled not able to walk any distance so when i see beggars i have no compassion. we can all do something.

    Not at all.

    Without makers and doers there will be few new jobs created.

    Someone has to take a risk, start a new company, employ people.

    The alternative is Venezuela where most are in jobs/homes are provided by the state. A real socialist dependency culture. Don't change the government you will lose your job, house etc etc

    Labour were working to provide a dependency culture here....no jobs just benefits from the kind and giving Labour Party.

    Source(s): There is little in the budget for me. My kids have been raised ( well nearly) so no big cash hand outs for them ....I guess I can earn £500 more before tax.
