In fact, even when the recession is technically over (i.e. things like growth are back), economics says that unemployment tends to fall a bit behind any recovery, so it's important not cut spending as soon as the think tanks say the recession is over, but at least a couple of months later.

I have been thoroughly impressed at his willingness to be independent. So please do give it a try again.<br /><br />Just a point on your post. The primary issue with public spending cuts to my mind is not where. It's when. Too early and any recovery could be severely jeopardised.<br /><br />AnthonyAnthony Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00814738244203894622noreply@blogger.com
