Mr Barber's budget

From Sir David Anderson Sir: The recent Budget has put £1,200 million of additional spending power into our personal and corporate pockets to spend as we please. This huge sum must be being saved from somewhere: what are we going without, schools, hospitals, better old-age pensions, or what? The pluses are clear but what are the balancing minuses?
