What would you like to see in Budget 2008?

Question

What would I like to see?
1. Less spent on benefit and asylum seekers.
2. More spent on NHS, schools, armed forces, PROPER police (not CSO's) and less on computers and CCTV / speed cameras that CAN'T replace these people.
3. Less raiding of our income, make this up with less MP expenses!
4. Less fuel tax
5. Save money by not printing leaflets for councils in anything other than ENGLISH (the last time I looked that was the language of this country).
6. Less money spent on consultation.

Answer 1

I agree with all of your points, and in the same order! I would add (although not really budget related):



7. Provide money to build more prisons so that judges can continue the current trend of PROPER prison sentences.

8. Dump the so-called 'Human Rights' Act. How much money is wasted on THAT little gem?

9. Set aside money to give the British people a referendum on European membership.

10. Scrap the plans for expensive ID cards.

Answer 2

Dont know which country your in but our Budget due in May,Leaflets here are printed in English,our MPs are not getting any raise this year, our Police have been increased,The fuel tax seems to be World wide we are paying average $1.45 AU per litre .I agree that they waste money on consultation. I assume you are in the UK.

Answer 3

Defiantly not on the NHS already takes £1 in every 8, and they cant even keep hospitals clean, its a an outdated dinosaur that wastes so much money. Some other good ones though.

Answer 4

Everything in that list wont happen the government have overspent so we have to pay for their incompetence. I think we should have Jeremy Clarkson or Fern Briton for prime minister loved by the people for the people. We are still paying for what the Thatcher government did to us. Fuel Tax is a nitemare i cant see the point in me learning to drive if i wont be able to afford the petrol.

Answer 5

No more money to HIllary Clinton's paycheck, and less money going out to people on welfare who are able to work and get their own income.

*my bad, I didn't realize this was a question concerning the UK. Sorry folks.

Answer 6

Besides from a vote of no confidence in this Govt in running our economy, well all of the above but also to give the pensioners a decent amount of money that they can live on without taking it back from them a few weeks later.

Answer 7

Less money on benefits, more money on schools, and lower Fuel tax! Less asbos and more police! Oh and less money spent on people in prison (Rose West had a hamster, paid for by the tax payer! lol!)

Answer 8

no longer let east Europeans who work in the UK qualify for child benefit if the kids are not in the country. i really dislike it that they can work in the UK get this benefit and send it abroad.

if the beneficiary of an award doesn't live in the UK then they should be denied it.

Answer 9

I agree with what you say and in that order. I would also add what Seven and The Hooded claw would like.
